The End Complete IV: The Road and the Damned Lyrics
I believe in the world right in front of me
But now along these empty streets
Where this curse holds these memories
Of a man, you know he's lost.
No time to think about it,
no room to breathe.
If I had a way back, I'd ride
through the dark and the dawn
(but please don't wait for me)
because the man you love don't live anymore.
I can't go home again.
Tonight you'll sleep
you'll feel what might become of me, my dear.
Within these end old days
Where this longing turns this man to pray
and a love begins to die.
No time to live in the deep
Girl I'm worth the second chance
(what have I done?!)
No time to think about it,
no room to breathe!
If I had a way back, I'd ride
through the dark and the dawn
(but please don't wait)
because the man you love don't live anymore.
I can't go home again.
I believed
in the world, once in front of me
well now that's gone.
If I had the way back, I'd ride
through the dark and the dawn
(but please don't wait for me)
because the man you love don't live anymore
I can't go home again.
Bye, goodbye.
Bye, my dear.
But now along these empty streets
Where this curse holds these memories
Of a man, you know he's lost.
no room to breathe.
through the dark and the dawn
(but please don't wait for me)
because the man you love don't live anymore.
I can't go home again.
you'll feel what might become of me, my dear.
Within these end old days
Where this longing turns this man to pray
and a love begins to die.
Girl I'm worth the second chance
(what have I done?!)
No time to think about it,
no room to breathe!
through the dark and the dawn
(but please don't wait)
because the man you love don't live anymore.
I can't go home again.
in the world, once in front of me
well now that's gone.
through the dark and the dawn
(but please don't wait for me)
because the man you love don't live anymore
Bye, my dear.

This is my favorite song on the album. The instrumentation and vocalization really express Claudio's pain at this point in the story excellently.
In Claudio's interview with Garrett Press he said that the Keywork is already destroyed, and Claudio the character is reflecting on some of his past loves and his regrets of never being able to tie up loose ends with those people. The life he had been given was a very sad life, and this song really makes the listener feel for him.

Bye, goodbye. Bye, my dear.
Where did you guys get this o-o I know there was a playing of the CD in London but there is no way anyone remembered all the lyrics from then xD
A website or does someone have the song and doesnt like to share >_o
i think this song is claudios good bye to erica court... but all i have to go on is there last cd and there graphic novel and the lyrics for there new cd but i think i am right in my heart... "because the man you love don't live anymore"
I love how he says "Bye, my dear" at the end. So cute.
okay, i just wanted to point this out to see if anyone else noticed it. At about 3:20 into the song, the buildup thing, sounds sooo much like "In The Flesh" from Pink Floyd's The Wall, like notes and everything. is that just me?
whoops wrong song, i meant The End Complete V: On The Brink
woah snare I thought the same exact thing. I cant believe I found a song with the whole album this is great. Thanks iforgot!
ok, so this is Claudio. And he is blowing up Heaven's Fence (I believed in the world once in front of me. Well, now that's gone). He is saying that if he could go home to Newo he would, but there is no way. He is dying with Heaven's Gate.
Forgot to mention that the world is already ending, the planets are colliding together at this point. According to that interview I mentioned before, Claudio only has seconds to live by the end of this song. It's a sad song.
