Originally this was just an instrumental, but then I wrote a poem based on it.  And then I combined the poem with the instrumental, and this song is the result.  This is one of the only times I've done vocals, so, be warned.

Lyrics

I have watched the world end on a thousand starless nights,
I've seen its last light burning in the fire of your eyes.

I've watched the sun as it burned through your smile.
I followed the moon on that twisted path.

I am the last word on your lips.
I'm not the last one in your arms.

I have watched the world end in a thousand dimming dreams,
I've heard its last breath as you were starving it of life.

I've watched the world end through a flowing tears,
I've seen it drown…

I am the river that overwhelms the shore.
I am the wind that pushes you away.

I have watched the world end with a thousand weary travelers,
I've heard their laughter as we begin to fade.

I have watched the world end on a thousand starless nights,
I've seen its last light burning, in the fire your eyes…
