Forthrite - "You and I Will Build an Empire"
My heart beats faster, hands trembling. This isn't fair.
Struggling to catch my breath.
[Breathe... just breathe]
Should I pretend that this isn't real?
Should I pretend that the world around me hasn't just crumbled?
The pillars gone, disintegrated into white dust.
Why am I still here? Why couldn't I melt away,
then evaporate into a mist of red cloud?
But I'm still here to see the havoc inflicted upon my soul.
[Breathe... just breathe]
To walk amongst the ruins of this empty world alone.
To try to forget that I ever took part in this wretched fantasy.
Until I figure out why I've been spared. Until I see you again.
Can I pretend that the world around me hasn't just crumbled?
The pillars gone, disintegrated into white dust.
But I could never hate you for what you've done,
No matter how powerless I feel or how desolate the landscape seems.
I'll wander this vacuum in search of your presence.
To confront you, accept what you've done,
And go with you to a different place, a different world,
Where you and I will build an empire
In our own self-defined sense of the word
And erect a new life with you.
