Lyrics Manuscript
[Intro] [audio cue: dark ambient music Rising organ] [Verse 1] I've watched kingdoms fall As I remain I remain Everything I love Is buried in the past Every flame is fading Every shadow's cast Eternal I remain I remain [Chorus] I can't carry on Forever I carry on [Verse 2] The darkness in me is rising A fire that never dies I used to think it was the only thing I had left inside But what if that isn't true? If I could find my way back to you [audio cue: acoustic guitar and percussion] Because if we have one chance Then we have one chance to lose But if we have eternity We have eternity to choose Maybe all the love I thought I'd lost It still exists Maybe I'm the one who turned away from it In a world where nothing lasts forever Could it be that we do? [Chorus] I can't carry on Forever I carry on I can't carry on Forever I carry on Forever I carry on [Bridge] It's getting hard to remember the faces and the names As the centuries pass and everything changes I know it all sounds the same But the details fade And all that's left is pain But I'm the only one who still knows who they were It's not a curse It's not a curse It's not a curse It's not a curse [audio cue: guitars and full band]
“If I remain, then I must carry what the dead can no longer speak.”
