I faded silently into the night
It was a gentle night
No cars hissing past my weary soul,
No breeze trying to break the monotone on my shore
I faded silently into the night
I did not scream out the agony in my soul
I did not cry for what was right
Nor did I make a stand
I faded silently into the night
I carried my defeated life
Like a sack of coal on a mule’s back,
Reaching the dizzying height on a treacherous path,
Where the precipice beckoned my soul
I faded silently into the night
There was no shooting star
There was no goodbye
I left for the unknown and
Faded into the gentle night
