Lyrics The Departure - Skepticism

The Departure

How come are you here?
Two decades since nightfall
The night was to be forever
The dark was said to last
The wine of departure
A potion bitter at first
Shall one leave a mark
Or be a mark oneself?
To depart is to return
To leave is to stay it is said
To decide is to hesitate
Next decade will wait for me
A new night will fall like a backward dawn
A new dark will rise like an inverted sun
Yet one will not depart
How come am I here?
Ten years after midnight
The night was said to be forever
The dark was said to last
The wine of departure
A potion sweet with time
Shall one leave a mark
Or be a mark oneself?
To depart is to return
To leave is to stay it is said
To decide is to hesitate
Next decade will wait for me
I will be here then
And everything will be true
