The Remembrance Ballad - Atreyu

These days are closing in

The end has become apparent

We’re only here for so long

Will anyone remember my name

When time has washed away the dust of my ashes

When my head rests in a velvet lined casket

What’s out there?

What is my eternal fate?

And it only just recently hit me

That this life is just a state

Mortality fading, like the innocence of love

I’m scared to death of what’s to become

Of my immortal soul of this eternal flame

Will you remember?

Will your heart sing with pain?

Who calls out my name?

(my name)

And tell me what happens

When my eyes close for the last time (my eyes close)

Does it all simply end in a blanket of darkness (does it end)

And what of my soul, what of my soul?

All those things that you couldn’t say

You should’ve said (you should’ve said)

All those 'I love you’s' lost

Weighed more like lead on your chest (lead on your chest)

All those things that you couldn’t say

You should’ve said (you should’ve said)

All those 'I love you’s' lost

Weighed more like lead on your chest

What of!

Of my immortal soul of this eternal flame

Will you remember?

Will your heart sing with pain?

Who calls out my name?

(my name)

And tell me what happens

When my eyes close for the last time (my eyes close)

Does it all simply end in a blanket of darkness (does it end)

And what of my soul, what of my soul?

If I could take back all those misspent days

Every second of anger, I would wash my sins away!

Who calls out my name?

(my name)

And tell me what happens

When my eyes close for the last time (my eyes close)

Does it all simply end in a blanket of darkness (does it end)

And what of my soul, what of my soul?

Who calls out my name?

(my name)

And tell me what happens

When my eyes close for the last time (my eyes close)

Does it all simply end in a blanket of darkness (does it end)

And what of my soul, what of my soul?
