A course was set

but with a planet this far gone

was there ever any hope at all?

I vaguely recollect the ache of our ambition,

our brief age of contrition

We set out, we had a mission

Once our common cause, I would give my all

The sun could not outshine me

It wasn’t something new, just something real and true

There is a fire in my heart and somewhere deep inside

a cry for war still overtakes the silence

All they ever see is my face,

it’s all part of the show,

our masquerade, always

Dawn is only so near,

and our pain and our pride

is all we have here,

always

We are too busy standing tall,

caught up, and too afraid

what happens if we stumble, if we fall?

We build our homes of sticks and weeds

and fear the wind too much to risk planting new seeds

But that’s just what we need now

But you’re still on my mind, in my sights,

and if I have to carry on alone,

I will conquer on my own

I stand outside the world, A Guardian,

I will defend it with my life

and I am soaring ever higher

…all we have
