Footprints

When the system fails and entropy walks in.
Just like Mephistopheles you think that he's your friend.
He guides you through the maze, you take another turn.
Disguised as the end now, the lesson has been learned.
The sunset fades away into a green spark.
The joker has his day and his creatures of the dark.
Their always playing tricks, they always seem to win.
The deck of cards is stacked and it's rearranged the dawn.

Chorus:
The two now are one set of footprints in the sand.
The two now are one set of footprints in the sand.
The two now are one set of footprints in the sand.
Carrying you on and on.

Bridge:
Carrying you on.
Carrying you on.
Carrying you on and on.
Carrying you on.
Carrying you on.
Carrying you on and on.

Rose petals from on high now fall over him.
Take pleasure and delight as they blister all his skin.
Don't curse the shorter day, it's not too late to see.
A chrysalis take shape, a butterfly away.

Chorus

Guitar instrumental

Repeat bridge to fade
