With a step and a tear
I confront uncertainty and fear
A second that felt like many years
I here the whisper of goodbyes in my ears

Long has this moment been coming
But only now do I start questioning
Seeing all the little things and wondering
How can this be right?
When everything is ending
When all thru the night
I’m kept awake by the feeling

Like a king that lost everything
Like a mother that lost a child
I scream in vain to the sky
With nothing but solitude on my side

Suddenly left alone without an ally
I want to break down and cry
But instead I stand here and lie
Holding it inside, can’t say goodbye

Pretending that I am okay
Fooling everyone but myself
This truly is the longest day
Constantly at the brink of tears
Can’t say I didn’t know I’d feel this way
So I keep running, till it all disappears

Eventually I’ll have to stop running
Eventually I’ll have to stop escaping
Eventually I’ll have to give it time to fall on me
Eventually the ground I stand on will fade to shadow
Eventually the sky will fall to ashes
The sea of past fire will drown in tears
