A simple question

"Why can't I stay?"

Now that they've told me

I must die today

...

The man out of time

The Oncoming Storm

My world in the balance

But will anyone mourn?

...

The memories faint

Dreams, they're more like

Both the same man?

No. We're nothing alike

...

The brilliant red grass

A world I know not

But I remember the war

In which he fought

...

Death all around us

Thoughts I cannot bear

Why must I leave?

Why can this not just be fair?

...

He's inside my mind

Each night, every day

Why should I bother?

I die either way

...

I think of adventure

Places I've never seen

But I hear one more thing

I hear his people scream

...

Does he regret what he's done

The one who murdered his race?

Well, I know he does

I feel his tears on my face

...

My choice has been made

For humanity's sake

I now know I have two hearts

I just felt them both break
