middle-earth - Bicentennial Lyrics

A spark in the dark is all I created
A shimmering light that has steadily faded
The fire I try to ignite was never a flame in the first place

Illuminate your shadows, try not to fall apart
Your life has taught us happiness but you took it to the heart
Disease took hold of you
Now you teach us how to live on

I sold my soul and couldn't buy it back
I'm going home
I took a walk and wandered off the track
To oblivion

In spite of how hard I have tried
I failed to keep the light inside me
It drives me to the edge

Wrap your hands around my throat
Drag me out, drag me down
Drag me down out of this boat
Cause I don't wanna row this oar without you
You were a lighthouse to the sea
Your wisdom shone down on the waves
On the waves to help me see
No I don't wanna see the shore without you by my side

The weight grew heavy still as you held it on your back
But then it wasn't long before your fragile bones began to crack

In spite of how hard I have tried
I failed to keep the light inside me
It drives me to the edge
