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
