lyrics
Now the eve of night approaches and the light is growing dim
In swift departure the life is leaving and the songbirds tone is grim
The dull cadence growing deeper, reverberate
I’m beyond the morning
And I no longer know if the skyline weeps
Broken and reset, shattered and fixed again
A thin framework of cracks to show it’s too hard to mend
We became the facets we displayed
I defined myself with by who I was told to be
Echoing the sounds I heard, not knowing the weight the words would have
A child in the land of giants
Such simple, sweet mimicry
I know not where I will be when I finally come to face the grace of the setting sun
On landscapes far from home where I’m not moulded by name and I’m known by none
Or held by the ones I care for, at the mercy of a failing friend
One who gave more chances than I deserved
The victim of a sudden wind, who strikes with a freezing chill
Consumed in the burning of fires untamed
Who knows truly where it will end?
Do not grieve for me, my friend
And I speak of the close but know nothing of how I will arrive
Journey before Destination
We are the paths we take and the steps we choose to make
Journey before Destination
Broken and reset
Shattered and fixed again
Don’t grieve for what must be
For the night is guaranteed
So the sun must leave
Accept rest and embrace that welcoming dark
Gloom
