As I stood in the shade there beside him

and as eyes turned to a paler shade of crimson

as I felt cold blood waves running down my spine

then I knew he wouldn't return



Maybe I should have known (better)

some things we just have to bear

I thought I could - still can't

I saw it all coming down



That's what life's all about

experience the unknown

now I know I'd rather not

(sometimes) fear is our only foe



As I stood in the shade there beside them

and as eyes runed to a brighter shade of blue again

with a glimpse of an eye he did understand

then he knew I wouldn't return



That's what life's all about

experience the unknown

now I know I'd rather not

(sometimes) fear is our only foe



Maybe I should have known (better)

some things we just have to stand

I thought I could - still can't

I saw them both die in vain
