The Last Journey
Brisk and dark is this winter night
heavy are my feet as I step outside
I know my path now, I start to walk
away from the last light and into the dark
like the wind swirling around my face
are my thoughts tumbling around like a lost man in a maze
Consumed by exhaustion after a lifelong fight
brisk and dark is this winter night
I am torn already, let go of me you grim storm
I am not turning around I maintain my form
towering black and brutal the forest starts
The trees dance in the wind, as once did our hearts
what happened after this love was born?
I am torn already, let go of me grim storm
Deep in the forest silence awaits
Not long now until I will meet my faith
Not long now until I will see what it is like
to slowly drift away, like thunder after a lightning strike
How vulnerable I am, but how low are the stakes
deep in the forest silence awaits
this could be it, it could be now
i fall to my knees take one last bow
my face kisses the snow, my white freezing sheet
i role on my back and stretch out my feet
I no longer want to ask myself why, or how
this could be it, it could be now
I don’t feel cold anymore, I just want to sleep
and dream of the time when we two had to meet
life gave us the opportunity life gave us a chance
we had it for a moment, perfect harmony like the perfect dance
It slipt through my fingers, it wasn't mine to keep
I don’t feel cold anymore, I just want to sleep
It won’t be long now and everything will be gone
I wish for my dear ones to not mourn for long
I shall be forgotten, the failure that I am
I feel so ashamed and not worthy a man
I whisper the tune of my very last song
it won’t be long now and everything will be gone
I am drifting now, like a boat on a great sea
floating away slowly, to where I can not see
regrets, despair and guilt will soon disappear
I almost feel happy, there is no fear
The man that you wanted, I could not be
I am drifting now like a boat on a great sea
The last thought that I will ever have is about you
your beautiful face and the things that you do
I try to touch you i feel like I am so close
I feel like those days, when we wanted it both
when you needed me too, when our love felt so true
the last thought that I will ever have is about you
