Can we cross

That awful terrifyingly vast

Lengthy black bridge

That separates the two of us?


It burns down

Running, running, rushing away

Faster, faster, farther

Can you make it, dear?


Laughter echoes

Through the night

You're hanging from a ledge

Gasping, nearly crying, slipping


Reaching for you

You can't, can't die, not now

We have to win; we need you

Victory can't come without you


Without you

What a dismal existence

Since you've been here

Since the very beginning


Get a foothold

Strength, adrenaline assists

Gasping, here, don't fall

You're here by our side forever
