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

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

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 this 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 this world your own

This is not the end, you'll always be by my side

When I feel like I can't go on anymore
