And so the sacred hours fall upon a soul
who sits this midnight, heart among the clouds
so many faces passed away by before his eyes
and each he sees this night
the journey long finds him rested by a fire
as embers throw a glow of sparks into the night
battles won were but challenges of light
long laid to rest beneath the sun
. which travelled road
. has led his truth to find him here
. how many obstacles lay beset
. inside a fear
. where in his heart
. did newfound courage overcome
. those darkened cobbles ever near
above the stars call out the fated last roll call
life and loves held dear ring out in echoes as he falls
the blood of life has leeched the strength to reach for one more dawn
and the wonder \"does life go on\" is gently now withdrawn
