Last Stand

Oh, let me be free
Light doesn't promise heat
Carving out the negative space
Cut it with a steady hand, with certainty

Fires burn and fade away
Black to white and then to gray
Light it up and make it shine
Don't turn back, no place to hide

Time to speak of love and hope
Life and death and letting go
Taking each day not as it comes
Make it new and make it your own

The path that you choose can lead you astray
All roads we take end the same way
Whether we are the hunter or prey
Doubter, believer, depends on the day

And where will you go as time zero flies?
When will you reach the end of the line?
One final stand, the world spins around us
Gold in the skies, find it, can move it in!
