Description
I deeply thank Feter, for without his helpful critique and suggestions, this song may have never seen the light of day.
(You might say it would still be "in the darkness waiting.")
;-)
--------------------------
We all want to live forever.
But, imagine actually being immortal.
What would immortality really feel like?
How many loved ones could you bare to see pass on?
How hard would it be to get attached to someone, only to know that you would one day watch them perish, while you live on forever?
In your eternal existence, you would be left with nothing more than the haunting memories of a distant past and the darkness that surrounds you.
Immortality is endless like the ocean, as eternal as the mountains, and as real as the sun.

Lyrics
Do you remember as a child
when you saw a light in the dead of night,
and you knew it was the beginning of the end?
Do you remember when she died?
I'm the tears you cried.
I'm the air she breathed, when she took her final breath.
I'm as old as time.
I'm the sun, I'm the sky.
I'm the light that shines when you squint your eyes,
as I gaze down on you.
It's your last night
So say goodbye
As the sun sets
On a Western sky
As the moon rises
Don't you cry
I'm the Darkness waiting
I go by many names, but to me it's all the same.
I've swam the oceans and the seas,
walked a million miles through the trees.
I've slept in graveyards, rode in boxcars,
stunk of red wine and cheap perfume.
As the city sleeps, I've seen some things
I hope you never do.
Father, hear my cries...
when you saw a light in the dead of night,
and you knew it was the beginning of the end?
Do you remember when she died?
I'm the tears you cried.
I'm the air she breathed, when she took her final breath.
I'm as old as time.
I'm the sun, I'm the sky.
I'm the light that shines when you squint your eyes,
as I gaze down on you.
It's your last night
So say goodbye
As the sun sets
On a Western sky
As the moon rises
Don't you cry
I'm the Darkness waiting
I go by many names, but to me it's all the same.
I've swam the oceans and the seas,
walked a million miles through the trees.
I've slept in graveyards, rode in boxcars,
stunk of red wine and cheap perfume.
As the city sleeps, I've seen some things
I hope you never do.
Father, hear my cries...
