Lost Hero’s

When my number is called, and I answer the line

Feels like I’m playing my last card in time

The future’s a shadow, cold and unkind

On this silence I stand, only words left behind

What I carried will linger, though I’m moving on

My words and my memory remain when I’m gone

There’s no time for mercy

There’s no space to hide

Soon I will be leaving

Read my eyes when I say goodbye

Nothing more haunting than your face that I see

The burning spirit of our little one — God, may they remember me

There’s no time for mercy

There’s no space to hide

Soon I will be leaving

Read my eyes when I say goodbye

I was forged in fire, but the flames still take their due

Every promise made was a weight I couldn’t lose

The ground beneath me trembles, the sky begins to tear

And the voices calling out — they don’t care, they don’t care!

There’s no time for mercy

There’s no space to hide

Soon I will be leaving

Meet my eyes when I say goodbye
