Together in the Fade

[Short Instrumental Intro]
[Intro]
He knelt beside her fragile form,
A flower wilting in the storm.
Her breaths were whispers, soft and low,
A clock unwinding, letting go.
[Verse]
Her eyes, once bright, now dimly shone,
A galaxy to call his own.
But stars can’t burn forevermore,
And love can’t halt what fate implores.
[Chorus]
“Take me too,” he begged the night,
“Let me fade within her light.
What is life when she is gone?
An endless dusk, a hollow dawn.”
[Verse]
She reached for him with trembling hands,
Her strength a thread, a brittle strand.
“Live for me,” she softly sighed,
“Don’t let your spirit with me die.”
[Verse]
But he could see the end was near,
Her voice a ghost within his ear.
And as her soul began to stray,
He cursed the gods who stole her away.
[Chorus]
“Take me too,” he begged the night,
“Let me fade within her light.
What is life when she is gone?
An endless dusk, a hollow dawn.”
[Bridge]
Alone he’d walk this earthbound chain,
A heart adrift in endless pain.
Yet in his dreams, her face would glow,
A phantom love he’d never let go.
[Outro]
So now he waits for death’s embrace,
To reunite in timeless space.
For only then will peace be found,
Together, lost, in hallowed ground.
[End]
