2. Valediction (5:04)
Underneath the blackest soil
I lay down my warm, beating heart
And deep beneath the frozen ground
I bury down my deepest thoughts
Because the road I've chosen
Is free of fortune and desire
Or the mundane toil and worry
Because the trail I've taken
Leads down into the darkest shores
Where the stars have passed away
Tonight, the world is burning
Black smoke hides the skies
Tonight, dark clouds rising up
Swirling, shadows engulf the land
Shadows engulf the land
By the side of forsaken path
I leave behind my old shadow
Into the deep under these shores
I drown my broken memories
Because the road I've chosen
Is free of fortune and desire
Or the mundane toil and worry
Because the trail I've taken
Leads down into the darkest shores
Where the stars have passed away
'Cause tonight, the world is burning
Black smoke hides the skies
Tonight, dark clouds rising up
Swirling, shadows engulf the land
Shadows engulf the land
For something to change
Something has to give
For something to grow
Something has to yield
(I kiss the light goodbye)
'Cause tonight, the world is burning
Black smoke hides the skies
Tonight, dark clouds rising up
Swirling, shadows engulf the land
Shadows engulf the land
I lay down my warm, beating heart
And deep beneath the frozen ground
I bury down my deepest thoughts
Because the road I've chosen
Is free of fortune and desire
Or the mundane toil and worry
Because the trail I've taken
Leads down into the darkest shores
Where the stars have passed away
Tonight, the world is burning
Black smoke hides the skies
Tonight, dark clouds rising up
Swirling, shadows engulf the land
Shadows engulf the land
By the side of forsaken path
I leave behind my old shadow
Into the deep under these shores
I drown my broken memories
Because the road I've chosen
Is free of fortune and desire
Or the mundane toil and worry
Because the trail I've taken
Leads down into the darkest shores
Where the stars have passed away
'Cause tonight, the world is burning
Black smoke hides the skies
Tonight, dark clouds rising up
Swirling, shadows engulf the land
Shadows engulf the land
For something to change
Something has to give
For something to grow
Something has to yield
(I kiss the light goodbye)
'Cause tonight, the world is burning
Black smoke hides the skies
Tonight, dark clouds rising up
Swirling, shadows engulf the land
Shadows engulf the land
