Oh once so bright and now so dim
A life once cherished wearing thin
Did we think it would go away
Did we know how it would be today
A heart is cold in the end
A reed once strong now will bend
How did you know when to say goodbye
Couldn't you wait to learn to fly
Blaze on, Blaze on in to the night
Carry on your way and take good flight
Cause we don't know when to leave this place
I guess we'll just fade away
I guess we'll just fade away
So many nights of praying
To get done what we're here to do
So many fights have kept us staying
Right now I send my love to you
It's hard to know how you've been feeling
I know we both could use some healing
I heard the striking of your final tone
And I hope the sun is shining on your way home
Blaze on, Blaze on in to the night
Carry on your way and take good flight
Cause we don't know when to leave this place
I guess we'll just fade away
I guess we'll just fade away
