One Hollow Word

In a world where I can’t seem to catch my breath
With the fear and the doubt weighing on my chest
Tears in the fading light
And a glimpse through the fog where we’ve been confined
A glimpse of the other side.

The soul may depart
But the light in our hearts
Lets your memory echo forever.

In the coldest nights
In the darkest times
We will carry your memory forth
When the north wind bites
By the moon’s dim light
Look skyward and remember
You spirit of adventure carries on.

When the search for a meaning’s left me cold
And these aching bones feel old
It’s the memory of brighter days
That takes my hand and lights the way
It fills me with hope
Anywhere that I go.

In the coldest nights
In the darkest times
We will carry your memory forth
When the north wind bites
By the moon’s dim light
Look skyward and remember
You spirit of adventure carries on.

A soul in moments from flesh unbound
The hand of chaos from high reached down
Another relic from life it stole
The hand of chaos exacts its toll.

And there’s nothing I could say that’ll make things right
But I can put the notes together in a way you’d like
Try to match them with a phrase that reminds me of you
And try to make you proud.

And there’s nothing I could say that’ll make things right
But I can put the notes together in a way you’d like
And look up to the skies and remember
And try to make you proud.
