Beacon

You're a light in the darkness
A beacon to me
You're hope and you're triumph
A home to the free

But you're sick and you're tired
Worn out and worn through
And you're cold and you're angry
And I cannot save you

And I try to revive you
Bring you back to life
And you know that I love you
Still, you reach for the knife

So I cry and I wonder
What could have caused this?
And things grow ever darker
You've felt Death's cold kiss

I know that you're leaving
But I can't let you go
I feel you departing
And I'm dying to know
