I've watched him walk awaynTo climb the endless shadow side.nI've watched him holding on.nIt was a thousand years, a thousand miles, a thousand dreams,nA thousand endings with no goodbye.nHe disappeared from menAs he climbed the highest peak of the dark mountain.nnLet the mountain sleep in the past with all our bad dreams.nnWas it a metaphornFor all the subtle ways that we'd grown apart?nWas it mortalitynClimbing him blind right off the edge of his lifenInto the hands of a loving god?nOr a raging void where we get torn apart?nWith his hands in the air,nWas he laughing or dancingnOr only just trying to wave goodbye?nDid he say a prayer for menAs he climbed the highest peak of the dark mountain?nnLet the mountain fall.nStrike me down until I can't go on.nRight now, let me fall downnUnder the ground.nnDo we go on alone?nIt felt like a thousand years.nIt was a thousand miles away.n
