The end is so close now

The anxiety creeping up my veins

Stifles me

The broken dreams that lay around me in the ruins

Carry so many memories, so many dreams

All broken by the same cause

But in this place is the answer

In this place is the key to the future

People from days long past

Only their lonesome memories wander by

Lost forever in the sea of time

Even she is one of them

Taken so long ago

And still around today

To lead people like me

To the end of the world

Her conditions are alarming though

The traditions long past practical

I refuse to give in

I refuse to relent

The future is not worth saving

If it means losing everything

That I hold dear

I will find another way
