The car is parked,
The scene is set,
I’ll take on black,
My final bet.
My last triumph,
Suffocation.
My last decay,
Separation.

Exit stage left,
To no applause,
Acceptance speech,
With no just cause.
An afterthought,
My legacy.
Slumber again,
My fallacy.

(chorus)
A lone soldier, enemy I and I,
My face to face, my last and hard goodbye.
A Valentine filled with complete relief,
An absolved mind, a last release of grief.

My last hard swing,
My final thought,
The last will bring,
What I have sought.

Excuse my heart,
I won’t let fade,
I can’t let go,
Embrace this blade.
Greener than grass,
On the other side,
Forgive my time,
The right to bide.

Scars on my chest,
Where are they from?
My unknown fight,
Simple for some.
To live today,
Die tomorrow,
Live life as is,
Forget sorrow.


(chorus)
A lone soldier, enemy I and I,
My face to face, my last and hard goodbye.
A Valentine filled with complete relief,
An absolved mind, a last release of grief.

My last hard swing,
My final thought,
The last will bring,
What I have sought

This faithful help,
A stuttered line,
A broken glass,
For broken mine.
Life is over,
That same old line,
Life is not lost,
The final sign.

I will not fight,
My hope’s benign,
I’ve come to know,
I’ll be just fine,
Rain falling down,
I love its taste,
But let me know,
I’m not a waste.
