Lament - Midnattsol

As I stood in the shade there beside him

And as eyes turned to a paler shade of crimson

As I felt cold blood waves running down my spine

Then I knew he wouldn’t return

Maybe I should have known (better)

Some things we just have to bear

I thought I could — still can’t

I saw it all coming down

That’s what life’s all about

Experience the unknown

Now I know I’d rather not

(Sometimes) fear is our only foe

As I stood in the shade there beside them

And as eyes runed to a brighter shade of blue again

With a glimpse of an eye he did understand

Then he knew I wouldn’t return

That’s what life’s all about

Experience the unknown

Now I know I’d rather not

(Sometimes) fear is our only foe

Maybe I should have known (better)

Some things we just have to stand

I thought I could — still can’t

I saw them both die in vain
