Nemesis

Once upon a time I was the scribe of all my dreams
 I’ve seen the years turn into dust, now feel the rust in me
 I’ve walked the shores of Avalon, I’ve seen the seasons change
 I’ve laughed and cried, I’ve lived and died, but only on the page


 Now all I have, all I am
 All I ever was is here, on the page
 It’s all the same, it never mattered anyway
 It’s all a lie so let it burn


 All empty words and all rhymes will fade
 As the light of last candle flickers away
 If the story is over, this chapter my last
 Let it be my best one, let it be my own


 I hope it’s not too late to learn to live and learn to love
 I yearn to fight, to turn the tide before the tender dark
 For I never drew the sword from stone, there’s no Helen in my Troy
 I stand alone, I stand forgotten, just gazing into the void


 Come night, test my will, test my soul
 Test my faith and test my heart, torn apart
 Make me strong, make me whole again and
 Guide through the dark ‘til the morning comes


 All empty words and all rhymes will fade
 As the light of last candle flickers away
 If the story is over, this chapter my last
 Let it be my best one, let it be my own
