If we’re as fast as light
We’re gonna live forever
As I’m your guide into the night
Our destiny stays unknown
Where we’ll be free together
So take my hand and soar through the sky
Everything you did while I’m asleep
And every single promise that you’ll keep
I stand before this task I can’t decide what I must do
All I got is you, so please don’t go
I stay beneath horizon light
And inside all my dreams I hold you tight
But now the night is gone
There’s nothing left that I can do
All I got is you, so please don’t go
Why aren’t you here feeding my pain
And why aren’t you here draining my veins
Cut my hands I hold on
The ledge where I hang on
The pledge that now makes no sense
So why aren’t you here feeding my fear
It’s hard for me tell me am I sane?
Another dimension but I still can’t see you’re changed
I promised to tell you when we’re near
It’s seems that we’re lost in space this system’s so unclear
All I see, they’re asking me to be
On their fleet, I’m telling you to breathe
Take my hand I’m sure you’ll understand
On your knees I want you to believe
We’ve made it so far out here from home
Together again but still I feel we’re so alone
They’ve made us to tell but I will lie
I try to keep by myself to hold up through the night
They’re telling me to be
Inside their galaxy
On your knees I want you to believe
I lie awake inside my cell
I can’t recall how long I’m here
I wrote your name upon the wall
Since the day you disappeared
They took my soul
My memories of you
Our journey out in space
The war we’ve all been through
The aeon passes by
I wish that you were here
To save me from this place
A galaxy that is near
I disappear
