So long my friend, my lover, my enemy
so long we have held hands and danced around the fire of our youth
Ignorant to the days, the years
lost in the love of our lust, our bodies, our minds

Now the awakening of our dream has come
you reject me you persecute me like Jesus on the cross
I am lost to you, the fire has gone out
I blow and tend to the burning embers
frantically trying to rekindle the passion of years past
with no fuel to add

Like a soulless heretic you cast my body upon the coals
to smother what air is left to feed the flames
Sacrilege!

I die we die
it is the end my love
you let go and run
I watch from my smokey cloud above in shame
and accept the change to come

So long my love
