END OF DAYS - © 2009

How long must I wait
For the memories to fade
In the end of days
The silence rolls by like thunder
And I wonder:

Will you wait for me
As I waited for you
Will you set me free
As only you can do
In this briefest of moments will I fly?

You...you were my hope
You kept my world
From fading to grey
No, I...I won't forget
I'll hold you close
Till the end of my days

Every step I take
Leads me away from here
Yet my thoughts remain
I can't put them behind me
They remind me

Of all that we shared
Of hands that caressed
How you took my fears
And laid them to rest
Will the angels who called you hear my cry?

You...you were my hope
You kept my world
From fading to grey
No, I...I won't forget
I'll hold you close
Till the end of my days

When my time draws to an end
As twilight falls
Love will grace my final breath
On and on and on
My heart will call

You...you were my hope
You kept my world
From fading to grey
No, I...I won't forget
I'll hold you close
Till the end of my days

With the sound of your laughter my treasures lie
By the warmth of your touch I knew summer
The sun has no presence here
Far from all I hold dear

When all ears are deaf
And all words are lost
Who will heed
My silent prayer?

When everything I once believed is falsehood
And everyone I once believed in fails me
Then only then will I remember to breathe
And with each breath I carry on your memory

When everything I once delighted in wilts
And everyone I once adored betrays me
Then only then will I remember to sing
And with each song I carry on your memory

All I denied rushing back to me
All I survived chasing after me
Yet I press on

The ghost within
Rides once again

Pressure rising
Courage hiding
Always running
Never fighting

But night will fade
Tides will change
Fear recedes
My heart believes
I remember
How all wounds are healed

You...you are my hope
You keep my world
From fading to grey
No, I...I won't give in
I will march on
Till the end of my days

I will march on
Till the end of my days

I will march on
Till my end of days
