I opened my eyes,

but the world had changed

The rain touched the ground,

but

I felt no pain

I called out your name,

but nobody turned

I reached for the light,

but

the light never burned

I walked through the streets where I used to belong But every

familiar face felt wrong I called out your name,

but the silence stayed Like the world had forgotten the man I

became Then footsteps echoed somewhere behind Slow in the dark,

keeping time with mine

One step closer, then another (Don’t look back)

I turned around

And there he stood

Dressed in black

Like death always would

Don’t look back

Don’t say my name

You’ve crossed the line You’ll never be the same

Ije kkeut-iya

It’s already over Dasi doragal su eopseo There’s no way home

His eyes held a road I had never seen A place between

life and a world unseen He raised his hand and the cold

rushed in And suddenly I remembered everything The flash of the lights

The sound of the rain Your voice in my head Calling my

name My final breath My final night The moment I left Without

saying goodbye

He whispered low

“The living can’t stay.”

And all of my memories

Started fading away

Wait…

I have a life behind me

I have a love that needs me I can’t disappear

Wait… There’s someone still waiting There’s someone still calling I can’t leave

them here Na ajik salgo sipeo I still want to live

Don’t look back

Don’t say my name

The road is closed And nothing stays the same

Dasi doragal

su eopseo There’s no way home

I’m walking to the dead

One step forward…

One last look back…

I heard your voice.

And then I knew…

I was dead.
