Gone - Krister Linder

When we’re gone

The sun remains the same

When we’re gone

The earth rotates the same

You’re a firefly

Approaching light of day

You’re a super star

Burning to fade away

Uncertain roads ahead

But still there’s no return

No solace in the past

A lifetime to unlearn

If all I sought was dreams

Just covering my tracks

Obviously oblivious

Through heavenly hells and back

I face the great unknown

As strange as it may seem

The city spoke to me

Of capitals of dreams

And labyrinths of glass

In grids of million mirrors

Entire universes

Within us

In your fire

I purify my soul

Keep me close

And never let me go

I face your great unknown

Surrender to the fate

Bestowed upon my soul

Like shackles of gold

And everywhere I turn

The world anticipates

When I’m gone
