I've faced death before, but not like this

This is cold, this is empty, this is numb

The life I knew is over, the lights are out

Hello darkness, I'm ready to succumb

0

I loved you like the son I never had

But you went to a place I could not find

That grief had a gravity, it pulled me down

But I hear your voice speaking in my mind

0

"You are lost, hope is gone

But you must go on

And do the next right thing."

0

Can there be a day beyond this night?

I don't know anymore what is true

I can't find my direction, I'm all alone

The reason I went on this quest was you

0

How to do what you ask?

It seems such an awful task

Just do the next right thing

Watch you die, yet again

It is all that I can

To do the next right thing

0

I won't wallow in my guilt

That's not what you'd want for me

I will honor your request

And do my best

To live my life, and let your soul go free

0

So I'll say my goodbyes

And look straight into your eyes

To do the next right thing

0

And when I wake, what comes then?

When it's clear that everything

Will never be the same again?

Then I'll make the choice

To hear your voice

And do the next right thing.
