Lament

As I stood in the shade there beside him
and as eyes turned to a paler shade of crimson
as I felt cold blood waves running down my spine
then I knew he wouldn't returnMaybe I should have known (better)
some things we just have to bear
I thought I could - still can't
I saw it all coming downThat's what life's all about
experience the unknown
now I know I'd rather not
(sometimes) fear is our only foeAs I stood in the shade there beside them
and as eyes runed to a brighter shade of blue again
with a glimpse of an eye he did understand
then he knew I wouldn't returnThat's what life's all about
experience the unknown
now I know I'd rather not
(sometimes) fear is our only foeMaybe I should have known (better)
some things we just have to stand
I thought I could - still can't
I saw them both die in vain
