For Those Left Behind

Would you leave my side?

Would you start a brand new life?

Who knows what's ahead?

Give up all the lives we've led



So we'll say goodbye

And a part of me will die

But you'll be alright

If you keep your head up



Hold on for me

Closed eyes see better days

Hope leads me home again

I'll find my way back to you



And away we go

To a place that no one knows

Will I lose my way

On a long and lonesome road



Seize the day they say

It's the price tomorrow pays

Blinded by the sun

But I'll keep my head up



Hold on for me

Closed eyes see better days

Hope leads me home again

I'll find my way back to you



Travel far through a dead man's wasteland

To the depths of insanity

Broken down, a void of devastation

I brave the storm



The hour growing near

The sermon no one hears

The falling grains of sand

The shadow of fate's hand



The horror, the horror,



Every scar a fight survived

Each one tells me I'm alive

Every life ends up the same

We return to whence we came



All this pain is my reward

Reminds me what all this is for

Will this tell us who we are?

Will it leave us in the dark?



Years from now I will lie awake

When autumn leaves are falling again

Takes me back to what I left behind

An ordinary life denied
