Laying under the starry skies I often think of him Neither do I know where he is? Nor when he would be He shall live in this world Long after I leave it But not entirely gone It is in his hands now He might be my savior Or the one who kills me He is the last living person Who shall ever remember me Before him is a choice That which affects me, not him To grant me my death Or increase my immortality Will he choose to keep me alive? How can I be sure of it? Or will he grant me my death? How can I be sure of this? I walked on the sands of time Hoping to leave a trail To guide the traveling, weary souls Of those coming after I’m gone How does a single footprint stand against the tide of the ocean How does a single memory compare to the rush of memories Each footprint of mine As I walked on the sands of time Started fading behind me Erasing the trace of me forever And there lie my footprints Fading, in the sands of time Like the trace of my existence Fading away from the world I called HOME

Fading footprints
Laying under the starry skies I often think of him Neither do I know where he is? Nor when he would be He shall live in this world Long after I leave it But not entirely gone It is in his hands now He might be my savior Or the one who kills me He is the last living person Who shall ever remember me Before him is a choice That which affects me, not him To grant me my death Or increase my immortality Will he choose to keep me alive? How can I be sure of it? Or will he grant me my death? How can I be sure of this? I walked on the sands of time Hoping to leave a trail To guide the traveling, weary souls Of those coming after I’m gone How does a single footprint stand against the tide of the ocean How does a single memory compare to the rush of memories Each footprint of mine As I walked on the sands of time Started fading behind me Erasing the trace of me forever And there lie my footprints Fading, in the sands of time Like the trace of my existence Fading away from the world I called HOME
