Koriel


The plain of dust is endless
The road ahead lies bleak
And our journey more important
Than flesh of men so weak

I fell beside your footprints
And could not rise again
Nor could you stay to aid me
Lest all our hope be slain

You left me and I waited
I waited for the dawn
When you would come to get me
I struggled to hold on

In the blackness of the night
And the silence of the void
I waited, and I waited
And I watched our world destroyed

In the silence and the darkness
I bid my last goodbye
And I waited, yeah I waited
Trying so hard not to cry

And did you come to get me
Once our duty had been done?
Did you try to save me
Even though my time had run?

In the blackest days of twilight
When I lay cold as stone
Did you come to get me?
Did you come to take me home?
