Caught by the Light

The Boxer Rebellion
Caught by the light, aware but asleep
Never as close as the friends that you keep
Drifting away on one final breath
The further you climb a calm silhouette
And time leaves you alone, 'lone, 'lone, 'lone
And time leaves you alone, 'lone, 'lone, 'lone
Far from a world, ailing to live
Far from the wreckage, you were left with
And the crossing is over where the righteous remain
In a memory that's deeper, survived by the name
A rest is sufficient, a mend now complete
Left waiting in silence, left only to sleep
And time leaves you alone, 'lone, 'lone, 'lone
And time leaves you alone
