The Passing Lyrics

You raised me up

Showed me all of your ways

They praised me for what?

For everything you portrayed

We conquered it all

We walked a thousand days

I learned how to live

To push on past in this maze

But now you said your leaving me

And it's time you were on your way

I just can't

I just can't find the reason to meet this day

My smile cracks and blisters

But I'm proud all the same

How can I

How can I never see you again

You told me like it was nothing

That you stared death in the face

I wish I could stand with you

To hear the bells at the gates

To wave you goodbye

From this wretched place

From a world of disease and anger

That you so selflessly embraced

As we dance this dance of death again

What comes next?

I feel my mind hit the rocks the waves never seem to end

It's not your world forever

This is the passing

You will live on forever

This is the passing
