In the End ©Laforge/Randall
The early morning comes to ask
If I have finally made up my mind
I used to take her sweet hand in mine
But lately, I don’t know what’s happened to me
These nights are too long
I’m a lion who has turned into stone
No more wars to be won
Time erases what you just can’t keep
So lay me down, I just want to sleep
These wheels I have are sunk in deep
Just turn around, let me be
I am one of the strangers here
Who can no longer speak
The words that loved me once, have taken their leave
Is this some punishment I half believe
These nights are too long
I’m the king who surrenders his throne
No more wars to be won
Time erases what you just can’t keep
Lay me down I just want to sleep
These wheels I have are sunk in deep
Just turn around, let me be
Movement has given up, broken by the tremor at rest
My heart still beats, my eyes still weep, so please don’t bury me yet
What ever happened to larger than life?
Hand me a shield so I can finish this quest
These nights are too long
I’m the road that has come to an end
No more wars to be won
Time erases what you just can’t keep
Lay me down I just want to sleep
These wheels I have are sunk in deep
Just turn around, let me be
