Fading Earth

I knew so well those eyes
I know so well what they won't tell
Freeze in the window light
You've been too long away
I left you heartsick in the morning
Just to come again at dark
Scattered poems on the floor
Is all I left behind.
This fading earth
This heavy, dark blue sky around me
I lay in the night
Awake, forsaken and mistaken
Against my life
I hold this silver blade in my hand
Who am I
To think you'll wait for me
On the other side
My paradise was never here
This hopeless fight amongst the living
I fear that age and death
Someday brings you to decay
Colored with the death of man
A hundred years of wait and drain
Sick with hatred, sick with pain
Your patience is wearing thin
This fading earth
This heavy, dark blue sky around me
I lay in the night
Awake, forsaken and mistaken
Against my life
I hold this silver blade in my hand
Who am I
To think you'll wait for me
On the other side
Why try to be patient with
Life, once so promising
But yet so vulnerable...
But yet so vulnerable...
This fading earth (This fading earth)
This heavy, dark blue sky around me
I lay in the night
Awake, forsaken and mistaken
Against my life
I hold this silver blade in my hand
Who am I
To think you'll wait for me
On the other side
This fading earth (This fading earth)
On the other side
I pray you'll wait for me
On the other side
On the other side...
On the other side...
