A solitary light, not a soul arounds us As it burns in my mind, illuminating the despair It goes on into the night, the hours go by quickly Like every stranger passing by pretending not to care Now it's everywhere that I look Their faces all seem so unreal Like they're ripped from the pages of books Now they're lost and never revealed Now the haze is setting in, and the silence begs the question Could it be just from the wine, that we're numb beyond repair? So we slip back into the light, to hide from the shadows But they follow close behind, whispering in our ears Now it's everywhere that I look Their faces all seem so unreal Like they're ripped from the pages of books Now they're lost and never revealed The light is now fading A shadow walks by my side She whispers: You must let go now And Maridian's waiting She tells me I'm not alone It's as if my world is coming down Time is not worried, doesn't care about plans The things we create will be ripped from our hands If I can't pretend that I'm not losing this fight And all is forsaken but the memory of a slowly dissolving lie We can't take it back No, I will not succumb I will not obey, into fires of hell I'm alone but I am not afriad I have never shown you what I am Or what I can make out of this shell Seen from above into the world below Am I lost? Alone on this final stage the spotlight gone So afraid I'm leaving here to a place I do not know Is this the end? Gone from this existence will I go on? Somewhere in time to reappear, like an echo My voice will carry on Travel on my friend Your memory will never die From nothing you made this world your own This is not the end, your music remains alive The cadence of life can't resolve Travel on my friend, your story forever told From nothing you made this world your own This is not the end, you'll always be by my side When I feel like I can't go on anymore
