Closer

What began as hope

Became the fate of many nations

Founded on a lie

Believed by everyone

Slandered and betrayed

A character assassination

Watch the guilty fade

Now the work is done

Ghosts of early days

Gather round the late arrivals

All parade upon

The earth to which they're bound

Silent in their course

They steal across the icy stations

Words are useless now

They fall upon the ground

One and the same

Parallels remain

In air as in the flame

I can see everything get closer everyday

Hold on

When I'm dead and gone from you

Remember me as light breaking through

Stay strong

Any time you feel you're lost

I will carry you back across

Call out

Send the word from there to here

Promise you I'm always near

Know now

Nothing anyone can say

Will keep me from you anyway

And in the end

When other days have passed you by

If beauty has a name

Waiting beneath the ruby sky

One and the same

Wanting to keep the pain away

In errors made again

I can see everything get closer every day
