Farewell Lyrics

So now we have reached the point whence our ways shall part / And I cannot forgive myself the role which I have had in this play / To blame it all on the circumstances is not of any solace to me / For I know I had had a choice and therefore I still wonder what might have become / If only I had decided otherwise // As the blizzards took thee from t he skies / I was not there to help thee cure thy wings / Doomed to observe from a distant post / Rusty blades I stuck into my chest // You made the desert bloom / Adorned the wastelands with the scent of life / Removed both hibernation and blindness from my lids / And planted fire into a frozen soul // Thy view led beyond the flesh / Thy presence conveyed consolation / Thy mind as the ocean so profound and sage / Within thy heart I saw the universe // As you withdrew there came the frost / Total eclipse a polar night / I then stood bare just as a tree / After all leaves have fallen in autumnal winds // As the blizzards took thee from the skies / I was not there to help thee cure thy wings / Doomed to observe from a distant post / Rusty blades I stuck into my chest // So here I stand gathering / The ashes of a former life / Wondering what will remain / While my eyes are filling with tears / The fire is gone / The ashes disperse / Cold grips my chest / As then I see the sun arise // Please forgive me my cynicism / It's just so painful to let go / As you leave I wish you well / May we both be happier when we meet again
