Here we are at the edge of forever
I always knew we’d end up here together
‘Cause we were friends
Or maybe more than friends
But now you stand here against me
Not an ally but an enemy
Is this the end?
Or maybe worse than the end
I keep trying to wake up because everything’s wrong
How could you have fallen so far when you were always so strong?
You and I don’t have to fight now
You can break this off, all it will take is a look
And we can laugh about it later like it all was a joke
You can walk away, put the blade down
You think I betrayed you
But that’s the one thing that I didn’t do
I’m on your side
I’m always on your side
Though I guess things are different
We aren’t the same people we were back then
She has died
That old self, she has died
I know you’re angry that I left, it had to be done
There were too many who were suffering as the war went on
This is so much bigger than you and me
You think I have a lust for blood, but can you not see
There is a part of me that’s still back there in their agony?
Don’t you understand how I bleed?
And I keep
All the blame
I will never be the same
No matter how you hate me now
It’s not worse than I’ve hated myself
Shattered to my core
Just like Malachor
It’s replayed a thousand times
I hear their screams in the back of my mind
Believe me, I’m aware of all the pain that I’ve wrought
All of it used to hold me captive in my every thought
Finally I’m unlocking the chains
I know you think you stand before me shielded in light
But there’s a darkness seeping from underneath your robes of white
Breaking me won’t take away your pain
Or the blame
We will never be the same
I see how much you hate me now
I’m sorry I hurt not just myself
Shattered to my core
Just like Malachor
It's replayed a thousand times
I heard their screams in the back of my mind
You can’t cut your way out of a broken heart
Please let me put you back together in my arms
I only did what I felt I had to do
But then I guess, so are you
