[Lyric] This Long Goodbye (Words of Farewell)

In mourning we endured the cards that had been dealt
We no longer opposed the deadening
Our minds riddled by adversity as time began to move out of place
It seems our efforts were worthless in the eyes of them all
Marking this the end of our plightful venture as there is no goodness left to cling to

Lowering the flags on this once glorious day, my heart is slowing down
This long goodbye is coming to an end

Here we are at the end of the road
It's getting late now
I can feel it's time for us to leave cause time waits for no one
Not for you and, no, not for me

This deep urge long lay dormant and still in the face of our inner light's defeat
It had become a funeral of smiles as I watched these hearts turn to stone

Lowering the flags on this once glorious day, my heart is slowing down
This long goodbye is coming to an end

Here we are at the end of the road
It's getting late now
I can feel it's time for us to leave cause time waits for no one
Not for you and, no, not for me
When cries were met with silence and all hope went astray
A last breath was drawn
For it seems I have all but lost myself
In today already walks tomorrow yet there is nothing worth remembering
Have I ever felt so alive?
Never have I felt so alive
