Lyrics
The Shift
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Promises made an oath sworn with pride
Never to stray far from your side
I'll never stray far from your side
As the days grew longer, nothing much mattered to me
Resentment was lead in the endless display
Shoulders where held down, the weight of the world as my crown
Self-inflected apathy
I'd never seen a day
When life depends on me
Careless aggression gave way to obsession
I'd bow my head in loss, for a moment in time now lost
And I still await that old hour
Little one, innocent son
I swear I will always be here
No more waste in regret
Accept the fate we have met
Begin again
Move away from the hate, fear, loss, bitterness
See through the haze rage fuels best
A lesson of mine, will be yours in time
How you prepare the duty is mine
I'll pave the way for you
Pave our way for you
And father I'll bury my anguish with you
Loss, nought to replace
Loss
Our time was short to most
But I've never felt as close
And I still await that old hour
Little one, innocent son
I swear I will always be here
What's now begun, won't be undone
