Souls Awry

Let us go, you and I, On a journey of the mind
Take these blades of brush and quill and paint the sad skyline
Side by side we strive to stain these empty lands alive
Only you and I, against glares and sighs, knew where we could go
So we walk through the sand, hand in hand, under the common design
Never a thought about what's to come, only the seeds we may sow
A bond in war, forged with tones we thought might never die
Our foes do fall, and the land is dyed, if only by you and I

So let us go, you and I, further in that darkened waste
In shields of thought and swords of color, we might give it a taste
With our battle scars, and who we are, each fight will add a day
To the time we spent, a bond present, never could it end
Or so we thought as we created the futures of our way
The futures so bright, built of our might, they would not mend
For you sought the earth, and I would rather the night and day
Painting the skies and dyeing the ground, we would spend
The journey of the mind, going a separate way

As our trek did endure, our enemies procured their numbers
With our world at our backs, the emptiness, it did not slumber
The vast void cared not of what pleasure we have sought
No disparity in its eyes, only the demise of all knew was not holy
The beast of naught, it menaced our world of thought
So we prepared for our great Thermopylae

Let us go, you and I, into this one final time
So our skies and land might climb
Over that vast, barren darkness
Our world, no more so heartless
The brush and quill, so eager to kill
That last little bit of starkness

Days of life, days of brightening, days of nothing cheerful
For once it ended, what we mended, would end in something tearful
For you the earth, and me the sky, no longer could we travel
On a path together, birds of a feather, with no black left to battle
Our bond, once strong, was all but gone, in feelings oh so fragile
In this journey of the mind, this was our last time, to build our great castle

Let us go, you and I, in our separate ways
Let us go, you and I, so our path may never stray
Let us go, you and I, but do still keep the memory
Let us go, you and I, for this there is no remedy

Let us go, you and I, for our souls have gone awry

Let us go, you and I, since this is our last goodbye
