about

Death of a loved one, Making hard choices, calling it quits, pulling the plug, and doing it with love and bravery.

lyrics

Lay your burden down and rest yourself a while
This place is a ghost town anyway
Cause when your body’s tired and your legs no longer stand
Its time to plan out another way

For if we choose the war the front line we will stand
Leaving nothing but casualties
My Friend, My Son maybe my Brother in the end
We never had no guarantees or
The answer lies on the gentle breeze

Release, Darkness from Light
Release, Give up the fight

I write your Eulogy as you sit right by my side
And all the wolves start to pine
Drink my tears as I decide the fate of your life
Which is now broken though once divine

Release, Darkness from Light
Release, Give up the fight

And only a fool will be King,
He makes the rules but they don’t mean a thing.
I’d rather go, deep into this hole, oh death won’t bother me.

Cause you gave me comfort, you gave me joy you gave me pride
Find us a place out in the sun
I will come look for you when I’m on the other side
Back down to the beach where we will run

Release, Darkness from Light
Release, Give up the fight
