I remember a time when I climbed every day But those years disappeared and the light went away Still we crawled through it all and saw skeletons pray But the ghosts hovered close and rattled these carbon cages Here I lay me down Silence, lift this crown of sorrow now In my heart I did know I must go to be free And I've found that it's now that my exist shall be Gone with the sun, everyone fades in echoes of time And the silence of my life a chapter in all white pages Here I lay me down Silence, lift this crown of sorrow now I'll go on being gone and missing these dark new ages Here I leave alone Silence, take these bones of burden home Here I say goodbye Darkness, take these eyes of sadness high
