shwabadi - journey’s end (frieren) lyrics

[intro]
do the stars fade in the sky?
or does the sun just blaze too bright for them to fight it?
why are the night and day divided?

[verse 1]
yeah, i was never the boldest, but never been boring
never a soldier, i came for my calling
i’m ever the soldier, the peg in the socket
the glue in the crack of wood, tell ’em pack it up
many imitators try to act like us
but they lack the goods
if they burn their bridges getting cash in sums
they’re counting ash and dust
when the passage of time ain’t a factor
the passing of lives ain’t a matter of mind
lacking in tact is a natural part of the fact
that your lives ain’t impactful as mine (d+mn)
what’s the use in a friend
if a friend gon’ be buried before i’m done batting an eye?
a flash in the panic, i can’t stand it
the sand in the glass keeps on passing
but never was stacking that high, like— (wait)
don’t it just fly by?
one moment you’re taking a photo in glow of the dawn
then you’re looking back at it in twilight
can’t keep on turning a blind eye
surrounded by folks that for whom
only room between living and death is a fine line
moment to moment, the flow of the zeitgeist
tying eternity down to the finite (to the finite)
now my moral fibre is a patchwork, and more yours than mine
got me cleaning statues in the morning light
by a lonely grave i stayed to pour a pint
guess they get to rest and get immortalised
while the rest get left and have to mourn the dying
surely death is better than to fall behind
now i’m second guessing my immortal life (d+mn)
[refrain]
huh, my immortal life (my immortal life)
huh, the immortal life (is there more to life?)

[pre+chorus]
do the stars fade in the sky?
or does the sun just blaze too bright for them to fight it?
why are the night and day divided? (ey, ey!)

[chorus]
too many want it, too many get it
too many don’t live too long to regret it
too many stop it, too many let it
too many talk, too many said it
too many buy it, too many sell it
too many liars try to defend it
too many good men that lived short lives
and left stories with no one to tell it

[verse 2]
now you think that you know me?
don’t go fooling yourself
heard about sh+t that i’ve done, and the folk that i roll with
and think that they cool with this elf (think they cool with it)
figured i’d keep it lowkey, but the aura’s enormous
of course i’ve been moving in stealth
tried not to lean on n0body but me
but i’m feeling for now i could do with the help
(i could do with the help)
the more that i look to the past
the more that i notice i missed
view getting scary wherever i stand
staring across at a lonely abyss
people had given me all that they had
i hadn’t requited, a moment eclipsed (d+mn)
memories, sonnets, and words that we sang
now we just hope that their souls’ll persist (their souls’ll persist)
they say that a man dies twice
once when he’s laid in the grave
the second is later, it comes as an easy mistake
when we stop saying his name
but they still live inside of me
and i carry that weight like an ache
so as long as there’s breath in my lungs
then i promise that you won’t be fading away (fading away)
[pre+chorus]
do the stars fade in the sky?
or does the sun just blaze too bright for them to fight it?
why are the night and day divided?

[outro]
too many want it, too many get it
too many don’t live too long to regret it
too many stop it, too many let it
too many talk, too many said it
too many buy it, too many sell it
too many liars try to defend it
too many good men that lived short lives
and left stories with no one to tell it
