Lyrics
The streets are quiet, the moon is pale
I hear the echo of my own long trail
Every promise, every sin I chose
Rises gently as the night wind blows
I feel the weight of the world draw near
Yet my heartbeat holds no trembling fear
If destiny is calling, then let it call my name
I walked into this life knowing fire and shame
Now the shadows gather for their claim
Take this final evening, take this fading light
I have lived with honor, I have taken flight
Let the tides of vengeance wash over me
I stand unbroken
I stand free
For a man who walks his path alone
Never fears the grave that waits in stone
I taste the memories in bitter wine
Love like lightning, loss like darkened brine
Those I cherished drift like distant bells
Those I buried whisper ghostly spells
Still I carry their voices in my chest
Like ancient hymns that never rest
If the dawn escapes me, I offer up my soul
I was born for peril and the cost it stole
Now the final pages take their toll
Take this final evening, take this fading light
I have lived with honor, I have taken flight
Let the tides of vengeance wash over me
I stand unbroken
I stand free
For a man who walks his path alone
Never fears the grave that waits in stone
If heaven sees me, let it see me as I am
Not a saint reborn, not a broken man
Just a marked soul walking toward the flame
With no regret
And no shame
Let the angels watch me disappear
For I was never meant to linger here
