As Light Dies - Farewell From Distant Shores

[Music & lyrics: Nightmarer]

I regret I have left without farewell
I couldn't take any more time here.
I was summoned, and that's a call that nobody rejects.
Please, forgive me for not having told you that I was leaving.
I know that surely you would want to come with me.
But this is an outward journey that you have to pass through alone,
and it is just one-way ride.
Don't be sad for me, because no doubt I'm in a better place.
Here there's no sorrow.
It is filled with light and love. Our love.
This essence surrounds this place.
I do know you will love it.

Remember me this way, just like the image I left you now,
the same you fell in love with.
Don't remember me as when I was alive:
sour, sad, depressed,
towards the dead end,
alcoholic and self-destructive. I know you cried for me, I know you suffered for me,
I know you made everything in your power,
you helped me to stand up when you knew it was useless.
I couldn't tell you what happened to me, neither why I was breaking down,
I couldn't even find an explanation.

Please, forgive me for taking my own life.
I'm sorry for all the pain I have done to you.
Don't blame yourself. It was not your fault.
Not your fault. My life was already finished.
Everything was already finished.
Forget the grief. Pass over it. Live your life.
Don't feel shame for me, because now I'm in a better place.
I won't suffer anymore.

I will wait for you here, come here in no hurry.
Sooner or later I will see you again.
Maybe 20, 30 or 40 years from now, but it doesn't matter.
Whatever happens, I will be at the end of the path.
And we will be together again, this time it will be forever.
