The Song
Lyrics & music (c) by Fox Lee 1998 (http://foxlee.arts-eclectic.com)
Though written before it, this song was used in my "Slayers" fanfic, "The Days Still Left". "Slayers" (c) Tokyo TV & Softx, BTW. ^_^

Verse 1
When the wayward artist cries her last tears,
When the fiery poet dies,
When the restless writer lies down to sleep,
And the verses written are faded,

When the wanderers come home to the shore,
When flesh and blood yield stone,
When the saviours have all flown to the skies,
And the sinners are left to the night,

Chorus
That's when you are the only thing left of me,
When you (you are the words) are the words of the song,
Because yours is the only light I can see,
And all that I (all that I) all that I love can't be wrong,
You are the song

Verse 2
When the soldier throws his sword to the ground,
When the final child is born,
When the melody is worn past repair,
And the words are lost to the wind 

Chorus x2 (with variations)

Verse 3 (improvise variations)
When the shadows of the sun disappear,
When the war waged long is won,
When the world comes down to nothing at last,
And life just begins to begin,

Chorus to fade
