Say farewell to the world you knew
All the loved ones who stayed true
Leave it all behind you now
Reaching out as you fall down
All across the stars I see the signs
Life returning to the swarming lights
Great coagulation of elemental gas
Burning in the void of space for thousands of years past
Suddenly I'm standing back home once again
Staring up into the sky to witness the end
The end of all our suffering and of all our pain
Those tiny children playing in the streets won't know his reign
Coming to our senses one of us has gone
Sacrificed for universal chaos to come undone
Destitute with grief in our moment of victory
We thought we were unbreakable as chosen by destiny
So say farewell to a friend we once knew
All those who loved can tell you that it's true
Left all behind for the universe to live
And in the last moment he had his life to give
The world won't be so bright now
That he has gone away
Such a terror made in error
We realize in dismay
When the time was dire
He gave just one more push
Words he said did inspire
Us to one last rush
Just a boy from the cold town
Will go down with such renown
Met an end in brilliant light
He did what we all knew was right
So say farewell to a friend we once knew
All those who loved can tell you that it's true
Left all behind for the universe to live
And in the last moment he had his life to give
Now the stars begin to dance
Praising out his name
Taking form in shapes forlorn
Like embers in a flame
Crystal visions shining bright
There's no more prayers to say
Hope is gone within this dawn
But what we hoped for came
So say farewell to a friend we once knew
All those who loved can tell you that it's true
Left all behind for the universe to live
And in the last moment he had his life to give
