One Last Dawn

For centuries I've walked the night,
A borrowed soul without the light.
The moon became my faithful guide,
While every dream was left to die.

I watched the kingdoms rise and fall,
Heard countless children answer dawn.
Yet every sunrise passed me by,
Beyond a silent crimson sky.

One last dawn.
One last sky.
I have lived,
Now let me die.
Take the night,
Set me free.
Let the sun
Remember me.

The mirrors never held my face,
Only echoes filled their place.
Every love I dared embrace
Became another grave to trace.

I wore a thousand different names,
Built empires only time reclaimed.
Immortal years can still grow old,
When every heartbeat turns to cold.

One last dawn.
One last sky.
I have lived,
Now let me die.
Take the night,
Set me free.
Let the sun
Remember me.

The eastern sky begins to glow.
Gold upon forgotten snow.
No hunger now...
No endless pain...
Only peace beyond the rain.

I close my eyes...
And welcome day.

One last dawn.
One last sky.
Now I greet
The morning light.
No more night.
I am free.
Now the sun
Remembers me.
