I know this is a lost world
It’s not so hard to see
So many people are crying
Waiting for a parting sea

The path I chose is clear
No brush or signs to read
It’s not always easy
Still I have all I need

It took too long
Too long for peace
The war never ends
The fire will never cease
Except the one you light yourself

There’s no conflict in my heart
What’s right hides from no one
But those who climb trees to lie
Are burned even by a setting sun

It’s not that the path is lonely
I walk in the middle like a parade
I can hear every whispered temptation
But my mind has already been made

It took too long
Too long for peace
The war never ends
The fire will never cease
Unless you put it out yourself
