The Remembrance Ballad

Atreyu

These days are closing in

The end has become apparent

We're only here for so long

Will anyone remember my name

When time has washed away the dust of our ashes?

When my head rests in a velvet lined casket?

What's out there?

What is my eternal fate?

It only just recently hit me

That this life is just a state

Mortality fading, like the innocence of line

I'm scared to death of what's to become



Of my immortal soul of this eternal flame

Will you remember?

Will your heart sing with pain?

Who calls out my name?

Who can tell me what happens

When my eyes close for the last time?

Does it all simply end in a blanket of darkness

What of my soul, what of my soul?



All those things you couldn't say

You should've said

All those I-love-you's lost

Weighed more like lead on your chest



What if I could take back all those misspent days?

Every second of anger, I would wash my sins away
