I wake up alone,
The room is dim, the air feels cold.
Machines hum beneath the floor,
Whispers of a world that's torn.
I thought I'd save the world,
But the weight is just too much to hold.
I thought I'd save the world,
But I'm just a shadow, growing old.
The visions stay the same,
A future I can't ever change.
Every moment slipping through,
Like fading echoes of the truth.
I thought I'd save the world,
But it crumbled while I looked away.
I thought I'd save the world,
But all my dreams just led astray.
Thirty years have come and gone,
What did I miss, where did I go wrong?
A child of fire, a fate forlorn,
But I'm just a man, weathered and worn.
I thought I'd save the world,
But the light has faded from my hands.
I thought I'd save the world,
But it's dust slipping through the sands.
Now I walk alone,
A ghost among the ruins of home.
The machines rise, I can't pretend,
This is how i will go.
