I never belonged here with all of you Time will take you all A world that was never mine to see Cast aside like a crippling black disease Forgotten like a dream that’s never seen I paid my dues, always thought I was the one Time will take you all Never knew the day was done My memories fade with every breath I take A wandering man’s name is never said No war-cry from me, the civilized arise No siren songs for me, the fortune teller lied No sunset to see, the silence covers all No fruits of my labour, the trees have all died No heroes named after me, the monuments will fall Fall to your knees! Feel freezing rain wash away the pain Scorched earth feeds all the parched and the weak Those who care to remember my selfless ways Will feel within themselves the power of change The journey’s end caught up to my wretched life Wrap their comforting claws in this lullaby We watch as the colours change As time takes us all away But we will not go quietly! We leave our mark which forever fears Echoes turned to a thunderous rage Our name alone is all that stays (Solo: J. Wright) Our salvation was always within us ‘till the end Down deep under scars, hidden from the stars Finally, time has come to take this all away The songs we sing, the games you play The wars we fight, and battles lost The fallen tears, it’s all for naught Even if the melody is fading, we will not go quietly Even if the fear is paralyzing, we will not go quietly Even if the end is satisfying, we will not go quietly Even after history is written, we did not go quietly Even after names are long forgotten, we did not go quietly
