Midnattsol - Lament Lyrics

As I stood in the shade there beside him
And as eyes turned to a paler shade of crimson
As I felt cold blood waves running down my spine
Then I knew he wouldn't return

Maybe I should have known (better)
Some things we just have to bear
I thought I could, still can't
I saw it all coming down

That's what life's all about
Experience the unknown
Now I know I'd rather not
(Sometimes) fear is our only foe

As I stood in the shade there beside them
And as eyes turned to a brighter shade of blue again
With a glimpse of an eye he did understand
Then he knew I wouldn't return

That's what life's all about
Experience the unknown
Now I know I'd rather not
(Sometimes) fear is our only foe

Maybe I should have known (better)
Some things we just have to stand
I thought I could still can't
I saw them both die in vain
