The Shift - Eye of the Enemy

Promises made, an oath sworn with pride

Never to stray far from your side

Never stray far from your side

As the days grew longer, nothing much mattered to me

Resentment was leading the endless display

Shoulders were held down, the weight of this world as my crown

Self inflicted apathy

I’d never seen a day, where life depends on me

Careless aggression gave way to obsession

I bow my head in loss, for a moment in time now lost

And I still await that old hour

Little one, innocent son

I swear I will always be here

No more waste in regret

Accept the fate we have met

Begin again

Move away from the hate, fear, loss, bitterness

See through the haze, rage fuels best

A lesson of mine, will be yours in time

How you prepare, the duty is mine

I’ll pave the way for you

Pave our way for you

And father I’ll bury my anguish with you

Loss, nought to replace

Loss

Our time was short to most

But I’ve never felt as close

And I still await that old hour

Little one, innocent son

I swear I will always be here

What’s now begun, won’t be undone

Begin again

My innocent son
