The Path Unsought

He cannot eat, he cannot sleep
 He cannot see that death is coming
 I know there's nothing more I can do
 In fits and dreams he speaks to me
 He says these things beyond belief
 I cannot take his words as truth...
 Yah, yah, yah (he comes to say his piece)
 I know he's travelled so far to find me in this landscape
 Perilous and full of unknown treachery
 And now he's giving his life to tell me things I can't face
 How could I betray his utter trust in me?
 And with his final breath he, imparts his vital prophecy
 Carry on for your generation, you are the one to guide them all
 Don't delay, your time has come, lead the way into a brighter dawn
 Carry on for your generation, you are the one to guide them all
 Don't delay, your time has come, lead the way into a brighter dawn
 I must prepare for the path before me ever daunting
 Indemnify for my naiveté
 And I can no longer hide away pretending nothing
 When the world is ending right in front of me (right in front of me)
 And with his final breath he, imparts his vital prophecy
 Carry on for your generation, you are the one to guide them all
 Don't delay, your time has come, lead the way into a brighter dawn
 Carry on for your generation, you are the one to guide them all
 Don't delay, your time has come, lead the way into a brighter dawn
 And to bring honour to his soul, I will accept this righteous role
 This nameless prophet that could see, that which resides inside of me
 Deep inside, I reconcile my fear
 Sustain my sickening apathy for good
 For the worthiest of men, but a promise escapes me
 Wicked blood will run
 Carry on for your generation, you are the one to guide them all
 Don't delay, your time has come, lead the way into a brighter dawn
 Carry on for your generation, you are the one to guide them all
 Don't delay, your time has come, lead the way into a brighter dawn
 Carry on for your generation, you are the one to guide them all
 Don't delay, your time has come, lead the way into a brighter dawn
 Carry on for your generation, you are the one to guide them all
 Don't delay, your time has come, lead the way into a brighter dawn
 Carry on for your generation, you are the one to guide them all
 Don't delay, your time has come, lead the way into a brighter dawn
 Carry on for your generation, you are the one to guide them all
 Don't delay, your time has come, lead the way into a brighter dawn
 Carry on for your generation, you are the one to guide them all
 Don't delay, your time has come, lead the way into a brighter dawn
