It snapped, and so did you
The world from which we see things through
You told me to run, told me to hide
And never turn back or to the side
Because the world was broken
A jagged reality
Mocking, backstabbing us constantly
And I ran, and hid
Ashamed of what we did
But we did it to live
And we did it to die
But it was better than living a lie
The pendant fell, and so did you
And now I can't go on
What I knew
What I didn't
And the world is shattered
Reality twisted
And you promised
You promised to be there
Until the end
And through that crystal sword
You lived out the vow
And you said it sufficed but only for now
But the world was gone, it's the wake of dawn
And still we live
Still we lie
But we do not cry
Or die
Or know, what really happened that day
When you left and slipped away
Into the gloom
And doom
And life you always wanted
But you must come back someday
Until they are gone
I still sing the song
But it is not of hope.
"Gil-galad was an Elven king
Of him the Harper's sadly sing
The last whose realm was fair and free
Between the mountains and the sea
His sword was long, His lance was keen
His shining helm afar was seen
The countless stars of Heavens field
Was mirrored in his silver shield
But long ago he rode away
And where he dwelleth none can say
For into darkness fell his star
In Mordor where the shadows are."
-The Lord of the Rings
