I'mmortal (Single Version)

Twilight fades, I stir,

Silence deep, thoughts blur

Threshold crossed, dreams wane

Mortality whispers, the end's plain

I've known forever that

I'm mortal, and the end's on cue

In the dance of light

Nothing's endless, nothing's true

Stars whisper, time draws near

Melodies fade, fate's clear

Body still, spirit weak

Life's fleeting, moments leak

I've known forever that

I'm mortal, yet end's in sight

In the dance of light

I can't escape the night

Hold tight, fading flame

Memories dim, life's game

Reaching out, grasping air

Knowing end is always there

I've known forever that

I'm mortal, time's pursuit

In the dance of light

Nothing lasts, all's in route

Peace washes, truth's grace

Beauty fades, leaves a trace

Letting go, fears take flight

In the dark, I find my light

I've known forever that

I'm mortal, yet I must fall

In the dance of light

Nothing's endless, after all

I was nothing, then became

Just a flicker, just a flame

I've lived - that's the spark

A blaze against the dark

No forever, none before

But I lived, and wanted more

Not the start, not the end

But the living is where we ascend

Adrift stars, I now know

Final rest, where I go

Legacy left, love's flame

In the end, it's all the same

I've known forever that

I'm mortal, but truth's in view

In the dance of light

A mortal thread pulls through

I've known forever that

I'm mortal, my role played

In the stars, my tale's woven

In the dark, I fade

Don't be afraid of the dark

It's where we come from

Don't be afraid of the dark
