Epoch (Left Behind)
I asked you for a promise
I asked you for a smile
Take all this strife and worry
Let me know it's all worthwhile
I knelt down to the candle
I looked up to the sky
You said my cross would point true north
Said it won't let me die
That's what I thought I always wanted
Never dead, never forgotten
Told that someone would see this through
But now here in this empty room
I'm wondering if I'll see you soon
And I know you can't be far
My friends, they sealed a pact
And signed it with their blood
Then I knelt down and thought I knew
But I misunderstood
Then I came home
You were gone by day
I was deserted at the altar
Where you said it would be okay
'Cause what I thought I always wanted
Never dead, never forgotten
Didn't mean I'd live for you
But now here in this empty room
I'm wondering if I'll see you soon
And I know I pushed too far
So now I use the stars
Because they always giude me home
That cross lays shattered in my heart
I'm pledged to the vast unknown
I know there'll be no infamy
That goes down with this song
I know that I
Cannot atone
But when I draw this blade for you
I know that it is strong
And when the waves tear me in two
I know it won't be long
'Til I'll see the ones who knelt beside me
See the ones who won't defy me
I hope that when you see this
You'll read the whole thing through
And I hope that all my hate
Can be my sorrow unto you
'Cause what I thought I always wanted
Never dead, never forgotten
Never meant I'd be byyour side
But now here in this empty room
I'm wondering if I'll see you soon
But I know you're just too far
