Fade

You braved rain and cold dark sky

Spent thousand winter nights

Let a dimmed light show the way

I traveled through space and time

Knew every form of sacrifice

Lived thousand lives in a day

No, I was never loved this way

I crushed everyone who tried

Now call it by the name it lacks

While it hangs from a frail thread

Or just take back your broken vow

I came to know love as a prophecy

Among wars, curses and lunacy

And fleeing from battlegrounds

As the last snowflake falls down

You see it now by what it is

This little promise of future life

You can't carry it in your eyes

Or hold it tight in your hands

It takes its place in the wind

The rain washes it clean

Until it is lost in the sand

I'll remember fate was fulfilled

When it'll restore and rebuild

Until then look at me as I fade

You braved sea, earth and wildfire

Answering to a blind desire

Of reaching a distant empty dream

I left years etched on cold hard ice

I'll never discover if I was right

If it was real or just a lucid whim

But as it melts in the sunbeam

I might be seeing the light

We've come to a moment of doubt

Caught in a lasting frost killing hour

With frozen hands and much to give

Answer me if you can answer at all

Cause I remember the first snowfall

And how it pour down on me

Tell me if your sweet neglection

is worse than my own treachery

From thin cutting cold air 

I've made something beautiful

Which could bifurcate right through

I stayed and prayed as long as I could

My wish never came true

To know the truth I had to steal it from you
