The Passing

You raised me up
Showed me all of your ways
They praised me for what?
For everything you portrayed
We conquered it all
We walked a thousand days
I learned how to live
To push on past in this maze

But now you said your leaving me
And it's time you were on your way
I just can't
I just can't find the reason to meet this day
My smile cracks and blisters
But I'm proud all the same
How can I
How can I never see you again

You told me like it was nothing
That you stared death in the face
I wish I could stand with you
To hear the bells at the gates
To wave you goodbye
From this wretched place
From a world of disease and anger
That you so selflessly embraced

As we dance this dance of death again
What comes next?

I feel my mind hit the rocks the waves never seem to end

It's not your world forever
This is the passing

You will live on forever
This is the passing
