Carrying Fire - Megosh, Garret Rapp

Sleep now and let the darkness comfort you

The fire’s out, so that the Rebels won’t come

Kill or be killed, that is the question

That I still can’t answer for the life of me

How could we be, forever, all alone?

Each and everyday we’re living life

There is death past the forest!

They will say we’ll lose But we will fight

And they will take everythingtake everything

We’re so used to changeWe take our time

Wet cough on the dry ground

On all fours I watch the snow bleed

Through silence we hear the soundYou’re okay, we’re okay!

We stand on unstable ground

And watch as the world slowly dies

A pittance of memory is locked inside my skull

The coldness was her last gift

But now she’s gone

Time will tell you when to walk awayI

Hear someone calling in my mind—goes blank

It sounds like herBut I know that she is lost

Calling!

Calling!

But I know that she is lost

Hey- there’s a gun to your face

Deep breath and squeezeOne round leaves

You’re with your mother and me

But no!

Just not today

We will embrace our fate

As long we’re both carrying the fire
