The silence has grown A thread just unraveling Spoken words unheard A moment’s surge of stars gather Into spheres of light Into constellations Grasping onto hope And yet our farewell’s at (hand) Can you see the Sun take one final breath? The world’s death leaves behind no words to say Follow me to where the shadows can’t reach Awaiting for the song’s end By the shore I thought I saw a familiar face Fading with the waves in a cloudy haze Strangers we’ll be, the red thread is the line we can’t cross And we’ll find the kingdom has fallen In the ruins dance in step with me Sing me to sleep so I might never wake (cry no more) Tell me stories from the past hidden deep Deeply filled with all of our memories Memories held gently close to the heart Never let them go we’ll never be apart I can’t keep telling myself these lies Lies cannot save what has already been lost I can’t keep telling myself these truths Truths that are chiseling at my heart of stone Empty promises have no further use Watch for when the Sun and the Moon become one I can’t offer you anything but my regrets I can’t see you, but I know you’re still there
