Careworn Duty, Careworn Pride @ 16:37

[info]stareyedsailor:

It's not my job to sit back and turn away
It isn't my duty to let it go another day
I do what many try not to
I say the words found only on muted voice
All I can do is keep on going

Where did I go wrong? I failed a friend
Somewhere along in the darkness
And I would have stood up with him all night
Had I known how to stand by a life.

All too often, a thought remains unheard
Too many days, words go unvoiced
How many heroes do we leave off away?
How much of a legacy
Can I keep on going?

Cynical voices, I hear you there
Stories end so new tales can begin
Have you never thought that
Maybe, for a one time
A story doesn't have to 

Where did I go wrong? I failed a friend
Somewhere along in the darkness
And I would have stood up with him all night
Had I known how to stand by a life.

All my heroes, they've got names
They slew no wyvern, they only did just live
In the end, slain by nothing so grand
Except by the silent forgetful man
Journeyman am I, but flawed

And I often ask of the world, godforsaken world

Where did I go wrong? I failed a friend
Somewhere along in the darkness
And I would have stood up with him all night
Had I known how to stand by a life.
