Embers Fading

I was trying to remember a song I heard all day, then when I looked it up I found I was nowhere near the original, and was left with a new song.

I know that heroes often die

but I can not feel their pain

like footsteps in the dark

I can not see a face

but I know you're walking there,

going someplace- I don't know where.

So is it so terribly strange,

to want to be at your side?

Through all of the days and through the nights

Leaving starlit steps behind.

Strange 

how it is so hard

When stillness hurts the most

And when all you do is strain

to make the next sunrise

It's when I need you the most

'cause while your embers start to dim, 

i see they still cast a holy light,

a warning, a welcome, my beacon in the night.

So is it so terribly strange,

to want to be at your side?

While fighting our way to the sunrise,

leaving scarlet steps behind.

yes it's strange,

how close that we are,

the distance is too far.

---

And I know that heroes often die

And I can not feel their pain

Only the absence of her voice,

and the echo of his cane.

You know, their silence fills the night

And I can not see a flame

So is it so terribly strange

to want to be by your side?
