End Zone - The Remedy lyrics

[Epigraph:]

"Destiny is not a matter of chance.

It is a matter of choice.

It is not a thing to be waited for-

it is a thing to be achieved.

William Jennings Bryan"

A question fades

In the stillness of the air

I have to seek

The answer by myself

What if I don't?..

What if I quit?..

Life is a game

I'm the misfit

There is a scar

Cut deep, too far

Beyond my flesh

On through my soul

Lifetime dividing gash

Ten thousand dreams

And miles away

There's my lost yesterday

A peaceful flow

Through days... and maybe years

Among the thoughts

Of how it could have been...

If I was there

Back then again,

Was unaware

Of any pain

Day after day

It gets harder

To bear this scar

And overcome this depression bizzare

I close my eyes

And wonder why

Someone does not give up

A remedy-

The healing power

Is it really in me?..

[Post Scriptum:]

The idea for this song came after the tragedy that befell Jason Becker.

To the authors the way Jason treated this terrible SCAR is the clear example

of how a person, a human being DOES NOT GIVE UP in the face of earthly

misery and chooses to go on strugglingonly with the strength of his will.

This is indeed a choice to be respected. The authors would like to address

this song to those making their final choice of life and death.
