Once upon a time I was the scribe of all my dreams
|
I¡¯ve seen the years turn into dust, now feel the rust in me
|
I¡¯ve walked the shores of Avalon, I¡¯ve seen the seasons change
|
I¡¯ve laughed and cried, I¡¯ve lived and died, but only on the page
|
|
Now all I have, all I am
|
All I ever was is here, on the page
|
It¡¯s all the same, it never mattered anyway
|
It¡¯s all a lie so let it burn
|
|
All empty words and all rhymes will fade
|
As the light of last candle flickers away
|
If the story is over, this chapter my last
|
Let it be my best one, let it be my own
|
|
I hope it¡¯s not too late to learn to live and learn to love
|
I yearn to fight, to turn the tide before the tender dark
|
For I never drew the sword from stone, there¡¯s no Helen in my Troy
|
I stand alone, I stand forgotten, just gazing into the void
|
|
Come night, test my will, test my soul
|
Test my faith and test my heart, torn apart
|
Make me strong, make me whole again and
|
Guide through the dark ¡®til the morning comes
|
|
All empty words and all rhymes will fade
|
As the light of last candle flickers away
|
If the story is over, this chapter my last
|
Let it be my best one, let it be my own
|
