Grass crushes under heavy steps,
no hello, no reply The puzzle pieces lie unfit,
the bridges turn to dust
I don’t look back at what was missed—only what I must I
trade their smiles, their stories told,
for only what is spread A single path,
a single goal, no room for second thought
Every soul that breathes here now is one I will have got
No hand to shake,
no joke to share,
no mercy to be found The world grows thin,
the colours drain, the silence wraps around They ask my name,
they beg for time,
they wonder what I’ve done But I don’t stop,
I don’t relent—my work is never done
This is the road where light goes out,
where kindness turns to rust
Every friend becomes a ghost,
every hope turns to dust No mercy left,
no second chance, no trace of who I was They fall so
fast, they fall so still,
their voices fade away I take it all,
I take it all—till nothing’s left to slay
Snowdrifts hide the shapes that fell,
the warmth has left the air The sentry’s laugh is gone for
good, no footsteps anywhere The puzzles stand unsolved and still,
the shops are locked and cold The friends who’d stand beside me
once are stories never told
Hotland glows but burns no more,
the labs are dark and still
This is the road where light goes out,
where kindness turns to rust Every friend becomes a ghost,
every hope turns to dust They fall so fast,
they fall so still,
their voices fade away
Then comes the one who won’t give in,
who stands where others fell A smile sharp and eyes like fire,
he knows this story well He calls my name,
he sees my heart,
he knows the choice I made “Your LOVE is high,
your heart is cold—but are you not afraid?” I strike him down,
I strike him hard,
till even hope is gone The world goes black,
the screen goes dim,
the damage has been drawn
No one left to tell the tale,
no one left to cry Just me,
alone, with what I’ve done—under a fading sky
The game resets, the cycle starts,
but something stays the same A heavy weight,
a quiet mark, forever in the frame You can go back,
you can pretend, you can play it all again No mercy left…
No mercy left…
