Secret of Life

I sit alone in the dark, and I try to remember The words you spoke when you summoned the Ender You chained my life to an ancient master Will the curse be reversed if I say it backwards? What you crossed was a line at the edge of the void And you can't crawl back without making a choice But something escaped when you opened the gate You cheated death and sealed your fate Put on your new dress tonight And look to the west, the moon's in the sky I wanna get at least that high Wanna leave the Earth and my things behind You told me you're never gonna die How am I supposed to sleep through the night? You showed me the secret of life I can't forget that look in your eye It'd been a long time gone, living out on the coast It's a long way back from the edge of the cosmos Truths once known never come unknown I learned that lesson lives ago To die for good, it must be earned The ways of death can never be learned And the life I've lived is only dust The darkness comes for all of us Put on your new dress tonight And I look to the west, the moon's in the sky I wanna get at least that high I wanna leave the Earth and all things behind You told me you're never gonna die How am I supposed to sleep through the night? You showed me the secret of life I can't forget that look in your eye
