Fading lights and passing days Footsteps lost in sandy trace Every breath becomes a wind Every ending will begin We light the fire and watch it fade And nothing ever stays the same Like waves that crash upon the shore We rise we fade forever more Time moves on, without a sound Leaves will fall back to the ground Every heart, every flame Never leaves the world the same We are shadows made of light Burning softly through the night Hold me close before we go Life is brief, but still it glows Empty halls and quiet rooms Flowers sleep and roses bloom Every child and every name Drifts eventually like rain The sun is rising and sparks the flame And nothing ever stays the same Like waves that crash upon the shore We rise we fade forever more Time moves on, without a sound Leaves will fall back to the ground Every heart, every flame Never leaves the world the same We are shadows made of light Burning softly through the night Hold me close before we go Life is brief, but still it glows One more dawn, one final breath Every life still leans toward death But in the dark our voices stay Like the echoes after day Time moves on, without a sound Stars will fade and worlds turn round Every soul, every spark Leaves a fire inside the dark We are fragile, passing through Moments shape what we become to Hold my hand before we go Life is short — so let it show
