One Last Dream

The first time I have failed

Hold my hand as you fade

I see your skin so pale

You aren't the man I knew

Cold, your gaze turns so blue

You see me standing here

Have you forgotten too?

I’m more than you'll be you

Another one of your little tests

A maze to drown in, a life of rest

He carries the heads of Cerberus

Throw yourself a bone, my son

What's a challenge if not

Too close to the sun?

A hole in my house where the rain comes

A hole in my head where the bullet left

A brother I loved and I killed

Hold my hand as you fade

I see your skin so pale

You aren’t the man I knew

Cold, your gaze turns so blue

You see me standing here

This beast beneath my floorboards

The graves hidden in my walls

Seeing bodies turned to dreams

Selling heaven in perfect boxes

You fear blood more and more

Blood and time, more and more
