as we sit around the fire of life
on the sandbar of endless time
we long for the laugh, another dumb joke
or the stories that were nearly a crime
wondering ,who's gonna pick up the pieces
where do we even begin
when a person you loved is now gone
all hope floats away in the wind
praying to god up above
that all of this is really a dream
hoping when were finally awake
that the current had washed it downstream
when the brightest light in the sky goes down
broken shadows slowly wonder around
searching for ways, to get through the days
with the strings of their souls unwound
mourning in disbelief, begging for any relief
trying their best to hide from the meaningless sound
when the brightest light in the sky goes down
could the future have even been seen
with a magic crystal ball
would it tell of the upcoming pain
gave us time to answer the call
we gathered the strength to combat it
we battled the doom from the start
we didn't retreat, faced the defeat
till the last loving beat of her heart
now the emptiness overwhelms us
and days have turned to night
our brightest light has left us
nothing left for us to fight
when the brightest light in the sky goes down
broken shadows slowly wonder around
searching for ways, to get through the days
with the strings of their souls unwound
mourning in disbelief, begging for any relief
trying their best to hide from the meaningless sound
when the brightest light in the sky goes down
