A solitary light, not a soul arounds us
As it burns in my mind
Illuminating the despair
It goes on into the night
The hours go by quickly
Like every stranger passing
By pretending not to care.

Now it's everywhere that I look
Their faces all seem so unreal
Like they're ripped from the pages of books
Now they're lost and never revealed.

Now the haze is setting in
And the silence begs the question
Could it be just from the wine?
That we're numb beyond repair
So, we slip back into the light
To hide from the shadows
But they follow close behind
Whispering in our ears.

The light is now fading
A shadow walks by my side
She whispers "You must let go now"
And Maridian's waiting
She tells me I'm not alone
It's as if my world is coming down.

Time is not worried
Doesn't care about plans
The things we create
Will be ripped from our hands
If I can't pretend that I'm not losing this fight
And all is forsaken
But the memory of a slowly dissolving lie

We can't take it back.

No...I will not succumb
I will not obey, into fires of hell
I'm alone but I am not afriad
I have never shown you what i AM
Or what I can make out of this shell.

Seen from above into the world below
Am I lost?
Alone on this final stage the spotlight gone
So afraid...
I'm leaving here to a place I do not know
Is this the end?
Gone from this existence will I go on?
Somewhere in time to reappear... like an echo:
My voice will carry on.

Travel on my friend
Your memory will never die
From nothing you made a world your own
This is not the end, your music remains alive
The cadence of life can't resolve.

Travel on my friend, your story forever told
From nothing you made a world your own
This is not the end, you'll always e by my side
When I feel like I can't go on anymore.
