13. The Parting (3:27)
[Mother:]
And so it ends
It’s time to let go
My spirit is crushed
Forsaken and cold
I’m leaving you
No tears left to cry
You’ll never change
I’ve made up my mind
This is goodbye
[Father:]
So this is the end
How can I go on?
My dream’s unfulfilled
And now I’m alone
I let them down
I pushed them away
No reason to live
I’m ending this pain
There’s no other way
Only one thing left to do…
[Orchestration: Siddharta Barnhoorn
Guitar Solo: Steve Hackett]
And so it ends
It’s time to let go
My spirit is crushed
Forsaken and cold
I’m leaving you
No tears left to cry
You’ll never change
I’ve made up my mind
This is goodbye
[Father:]
So this is the end
How can I go on?
My dream’s unfulfilled
And now I’m alone
I let them down
I pushed them away
No reason to live
I’m ending this pain
There’s no other way
Only one thing left to do…
[Orchestration: Siddharta Barnhoorn
Guitar Solo: Steve Hackett]
