Chills run deeper into twilight
Trying to outlive the past —
That thundering train gaining momentum
Driving us along its tracks.
There is a time when we’ll stop running,
A desperate moment we’ll give in,
But so long our feet don’t fail us
We’re not stopping,
Never stopping.
Run, know the cold will catch us once we stop.
Strength of will not our own
Cannot match the strength within.
Never sacrifice the self to serve the other.
They might tell you what to do,
But it is you who push the button.
Never sacrifice the self to serve the other.
One abandoned halfway station,
Last remaining light that warms —
Shadows pacing to outrun us
From a dream burned to the ground.
There’s a time when we’ll stop fleeing
Duty, fear, and consequence
Still, so long our hearts don’t fail us,
We’ll keep running,
Never stopping.
