Lights flicker from the candles
The village has gathered here
In the church and I see mom
Sitting proudly by the rear
We're not as many this time
Getting fewer every year
And we sing
Father seems quite bored
He's talking to his friend
I see them reminiscing
On days that have been
Fading away
I listen to them speak
And they say
"Do you remember all those days
We used to lay inside my tree hut
Waiting for the day to end?
There was a time when all turned grey
Mom and dad went far astray
I never thought that I would miss them"
The lights go out
And the people scream and shout
Of days gone
Past these masks you wear
There's a face and for each faith you bear
There's still a cowardice distrust for those you care for
Yet here we are
In the same home we lived in
Now a family of two
I've still kept some space left
For the rest of you
Mom, please just hold me near
I couldn't stand it if you disappeared
And dad I know it's been hard sometimes
But at moments like these I can't help
Fear you forget there's people who care
Who are here
I am here
All that matters is that we're here
Their faces entwine
This place has always had eyes
They look at me with parting sorrow
I can't bear to lose another soul
It's our home
Looking back there seems to be a gathering of some sort
I take a step and reach my hand ever so close to the
Door's slightly creaking as I turn the handle
Where blinding lights obscure my eyes I'm met with
Laughter, dinner, Jacob?
And the cry of a newborn child
I think it's mine?
One day you'll grow up to be
A fine young baron, to that I'll see
But you must remember me
Follow our footsteps if you wish
Or go your own way just don't forget
Your mother's love when you are set adrift
"To care is a strange thing
When someone yells in your ear day in and day out
Your body tells you to scream
But there's always something holding you back
Whether it be the look in their eyes
Their way of handling themselves
Or the way they just sing so unbelievably awful
It's just, it's just that which makes it all so pure
I think, I think he reminds me of myself when I was his age
