Mission Complete (Since When Were You So Naive?)

So it has begun...

The unraveling of our lives in the swiftest fashion,
like a marathon race towards complete obliteration.
I'll take your hand but only because
it's what's keeping me going; keeping me strong.

We always realised this wouldn't be easy,
but we never fathomed the arduous nature of our task.
Trapped inside a world rife with disbelievers,
it's hard taking even small steps down this path.

So close your eyes and sing that sweet song;
Let these pleasures surround you as you soak up the sun.
I'll take all the pain, if you'll get the gain.
The mission completed by a love that's so strong.

But if we've now reached the end,
how can we still be so wrong?
