Stare down the road you've known for so long
Don't you dare think of giving up;
You've given so much sleep peacefully.
With our hands held tight from the other night
I dare you to speak the words.
The sweat and nerves start to take control.
This is taking a lifetime to get back to my family,
I have longed to feel their love I'm so glad
I have you beside me
Just a sheer glance at you gives strength when in need.
The twisted earth consumes us
Ignoring the lights and holding on tight, for I... solemnly swear.
Leave behind fear and doubt there's nothing we should spare,
Still suffer from the nightmares? Awoken so violently?
I will always be your shoulder to lie upon, cry upon, die upon till the end of my days.
This has taken a lifetime to get back.
The twisted earth consumes us
Ignoring the lights and holding on tight, for I... solemnly swear.
Rest ease for we've just begun.
Harmony soothes and saves our souls, or so they say.
Tomorrow will be brighter as we look for a brand new day.
No this can't be real, how am I to deal with the death of my brother,
Be strong as we must carry on,
They say in due time all wounds will heal themselves, though why won't mine?
Aren't I the fortunate one?
Take in a deep breath but don't exhale,"I feel so frail".
Now rest ease for we've just begun.
Harmony soothes and saves our souls, or so they say.
Tomorrow will be brighter as we look for a brand new day.
It's time to say my goodbye hold it with you forever before it gets too late,
There's no time to cry, but will you still lend me your shoulder?
I promise not to wear it out.
Don't waste the day as we stand here forever and fade to gray...
