The Last Goodbye

Like sirens through the snow, the baying of the wolves
My shattered lands were once so grand, now rubble on the sands
Broken and alone, with nowhere left to roam
Yet here I stay my memories of you to lead the way.

Dispel the wind and rain, let winter lay its veil
The purity of forlorn dreams, the only flame I keep
Must all things fade away? I hold onto the pain
Of tragedy as memories of you begin to wane.

Ripped away, fade away, can you fill the void in me again?
And rise to remain
Longing for that distant flame. Longing for that light to lead the way
To leave this place.

To find a glimmer through the grey, cast a shadow on dismay
There shines the beauty of the last goodbye, to leave it far behind
Let the blizzard fade away, leave it's blanket on new day
To a purer land that lies far beyond misery.
