Always Beside You

“Yes, I’ll follow you down,
Into the abyss,”
You said, my friend,
Someone I’ll miss.

We live in a world,
Of twists and turns,
Of hurts and sorrows,
Of curses and burns.

And in this war,
Of good and bad,
Of lies and love,
Of happy and sad.

We may make it,
Or we may not,
And if we do go down,
We know we fought.

We fought for ourselves,
We fought for their lives,
We fought against hate,
We fought against lies.

We fought against cruelty,
And gore and blood,
We fought for freedom,
Under moon and sun.

And whilst we rest,
By each other,
Sister and sister,
Brother and brother.

Always beside you,
I will stay,
I’ll be your shadow,
On this already dark day.

And I’ll follow you down,
Into the abyss,
Because you are my friend,
Someone I’ll miss
