Sunlight

The wheel of time still rolls
The sands of time still flow.

Life does carry on in the cycle of the sun
When that flame does die, I'll be by your side.

From days to weeks then weeks to months
From months to years then years to eternity
Time has passed since that day
Yet the wounds are still tearing at me
This torture still causes pain as I live under the sun
Time heals everything they say but these scars always come undone.

But still i'm not afraid to die
I carry on for the others, knowing you wait on the other side
I'm not afraid to die
One day my time will come and we will be together in the sky.

The years will turn to decades with the age carved upon my face
Memories still etched inside and forever holding their place
The torture will still cause pain but I'll know my time draws near
I will march to my final hours and embrace the face of death without fear.

The birds line the sky, my next of kin, they cry
I watch the sunlight die as my soul starts to fly
My whole life I did wait, since your untimely fate
The clouds dissipate, I see you at the gate
Standing with open palm, I try to keep my calm
I know I'm safe from harm as I run into your arms
My heart begins to pace, I've found the sacred place
I'm held in your embrace, I see the smile on your face again.

When I reached the end my soul did ascend
Now that flame has died I am by your side.
