Your pathʼs unbeaten and itʼs all uphill,
and you can meet it but you never will.
And Iʼm the reason that youʼre standing still, but I...

Iʼm standing in the way.
The cries around you--you donʼt hear at all,

Wish I could slay your demons, but now that time is past.
Wish I could stay here, stalwart, standing fast, but
Iʼm standing in the way. Iʼm just standing in the way.
