When the world ends and the skies clash,
When the tide grows and the fires crash,
I promise, I won't tremble.
Till the last hour I will stand strong,
Till the last breath defend right from wrong.
Till the dawn, I won't stumble.
When you die young, when your eyes close,
When your hand slips and your heart slows,
I promise I will not cry.
I'll take it all, I will ask no whys
Live through every fall
Live through every try
But here, I will not die.
...
If you were there, to watch me burn,
Spilling metal heart in broken yearn,
You would not turn away.
But as it is, I stand alone,
The hands are cold, the bow is drawn,
And for the end I pray.
If you were here, to watch me die,
(please, stay close...)
I could have said the last goodbye.
(i wanna see you just once again)
But now, my hopes are naught.
We get no answers while we live.
Life teaches us to just believe.
Just be, no matter what.
(are you there?)

...

so, when  all's gone,
and the wind howls,
when the dead rise
and the earth yowls –

I have been looking at your face too long,
how shadows hid your smile
frost bit your lips
Your worn-down sweater with a perfumed scent
it lingered for a while
In frenzied fit
I tugged and tugged but you weren't coming down
my silent tears had dropped
you left me there
A ghost of footprints on the hollow path
the sound of it had stopped
it was unfair
Of you to speak no word and disappear
on such a moonless night
I stood and stared

That awful dream, it haunts me ever still
of how I lit the lights
and you weren't there.
