I sit Amalone in the dark, and I try to remember
The Amwords you spoke when you summoned the Ender
You Fmaj7chained my life to an ancient master
Will the Amcurse be reversed if I say it backwards?

What you Amcrossed was a line at the edge of the void
And you Amcan't crawl back without making a choice
But then Fmaj7something escaped when you opened the gate
You Amcheated death and sealed your fate

And the life I've lived is only dust

The darkness comes for all of us
