I rise and stand upon the top of the lighthouse
I rise and stand upon the top of the lighthouse
An eerie silence forewarns coming violence
I stand-alone and sing in silence
A broken self-made man
Worn as the walls on which he stands
The cracks form no time to warn
Upon my knees I fall, the building crumbles
The once great tower a fallen ruin
Its usefulness ended a life ended
Alone I drop and kneel
I pray to thee, to watch over me
For life is short, and soon well fall
But will we fall alone forgotten
Rather fall, when time has come
Our lives fulfilled, and duty done.
