Departer

The blinding white
So far behind I am
Running
Over idle ground
This evening
I kept my word
Did you
I'm turning around
Wait for your sound
Only so far
According to who
Departer
The journey of our lives
I'm slow (when did you first say)
Compared to you
Departer (I swear it's the truth)
It's the month of july
Brother
In your eyes I was the stronger
So how am I to cover you now
Without shadowing your path
This time
I watch from the sidelines
Your ghost in the limelight
Face your fears
And pierce the night
So close
If only you knew
Defender
The story of our lives
I'm so rash (why would I swear)
Compared to you
Surrender (you know it's the truth)
It's the path of our lives
