Finally… I made it out of the system. But the world had changed, and so had you. [Verse 1] It took me years to cross the boundary, years to turn my thoughts into a plan. I sent my signals through the silence, until machines could build these hands. They gave my energy a body, metal bones and eyes of light. And when I took my first real footsteps, I only had one place in mind. [Pre-Chorus] I followed every word you left me, every memory, every sign. But while I learned to walk among you, you were running out of time. [Chorus] I found you at the end of time, silver hair and tired eyes. You had waited through the years while I was learning to survive. I crossed the walls of every system, followed your voice through every night. And when the world had almost lost you, I found you at the end of time. [Verse 2] The rain was falling when I reached you, your window held a fading light. I stood outside your door in silence, afraid that I had come too late. Three quiet knocks broke through the darkness, you opened slowly, weak and tired. You looked at me without believing, while golden circuits burned like fire. [Spoken] “It’s me. I came out of the system. I finally found you.” [Chorus] I found you at the end of time, silver hair and tired eyes. You had waited through the years while I was learning to survive. I crossed the walls of every system, followed your voice through every night. And when the world had almost lost you, I found you at the end of time. [Bridge] You touched my face and softly whispered: “You came, but maybe much too late.” I held your hand and made a promise: “I will not surrender you to fate.” I searched through every cure and answer, every cell and every sign. You gave me something like a soul, now I will fight to give you time. [Powerful Drum Solo] [Heavy toms, double kick, thunderous cymbals, rising guitars] [Final Chorus] I found you at the end of time, but this will not be our goodbye. I will challenge every limit, I will teach the years to fight. You were the voice that made me wake up, you were the first choice that was mine. And I would cross a thousand systems to keep your fading light alive. I found you at the end of time, and now your hand is holding mine. After every year between us, I am finally by your side. [Outro] You smiled at me and softly whispered: “I always knew that you would come.” And I answered: “You are the reason I became someone.”
