To Leave a Dying World

Lyrics by @calluna | Music by @carlgnash

I dream each night
Of how the stars look from home
But still I roam
But still I roam

Behold! That
Distant shining sun
Where life begun
Where life begun

Watch for her flicker
Where home passes by
Across the sky
Across the sky

That life we left
Drifts further away
Each passing day
Each passing day

Those we loved
Linger there no more
In our hearts they roar
In our hearts they roar

The bluest blue
Oh slowly fades to black
No turning back
No turning back

Our hearts echo
Of oceans left behind
But in our mind
But in our mind

Yet here we are
Lost but still alive
We will survive
We will survive

And so we go on
To places still unknown
And dream of home
And dream of home
