The Price You Pay Video (MV)

I remember as a kid, you were my guide,
Showed me how to see the magic, never hide.
We chased the wonder, lived inside a dream,
Nothing in this world was out of reach, it seemed.

Then they called you, pulled you from our hands,
Man of science, man of fire, you took your stand.
You turned away, shadows in your eyes,
I never knew how long you'd burn inside.

Will you show me all the sparks, all the light again?
Can you build a dream that never fades, my brother?
Will you stand where I can follow you?
So we can make this world, much more beautiful, anew.


Your letters talked of stars you tried to touch,
Progress, science-was it all too much?
But you never spoke of what was breaking you,
The magic draining every part of you.


The war came knocking, dragged you through the fight,
Used you up, until you burned out in the light.
You never came back, just your name up high,
Leaving me here, still wondering why.


Now I'm asking, did you lose that spark inside?
Would you still want to build a world that shines?
Do you want me to follow through,
And keep creating beauty, just like you?

Your letters told of wonder,
But the pain pulled you under.
The fire you lit, it burned you alive,
But your memory's still keeping me alive.


Would you show me all the sparks, all the light again?
Could we build a world that never fades away?
Do you still want me to follow you?
So we can make this world, more beautiful, anew.

Even now, I can't let go,
Of the fire you sparked, the things you showed.
Now I'm standing on the edge of time,
Your light burns on... one last time, one last time...
One last time.
