Retrospect Lyrics - Conception

In cover of a dazzling full moon 

I pace in the hall rendered harmless by the memory 

Of what I used to be night's soon over 

I dread another sunrise the pain of knowing 

I might have changed the world 

I couldn't pass with a compromise 

But the healing hand belongs to the living 

And I am no longer 

The world will go on without me 

I'm no longer 

When I leave I'll feel a soft asuagement 

And with minimal manliness 

I'll bow to hail the light when night's over 

I'll sink into oblivion but still I will remember 

I could have changed the world 

I couldn't pass with a compromise 

'Cause the healing hand belongs to the living 

And I am no longer 

The world is the same without me 

I'm no longer
