LYRICS:

Step outside and search the skies for any sign
Beads of sweat soak through my shirt and roll down my spine
The fading sun burns through my eyes and through my mind
Staring out across this wasted land to see what I can find

Looking for a way

Just remember me.

The moonlight shines above, an accusing eye
I feel the heat of a million tears I know I’ll never cry
The wind is howling at my back, screaming out your name
And still I walk this world alone where death is just a game

Where is yesterday
So that I can say
Please remember me
