[Intro]
He can not eat, he can not sleep
He can not see that death is coming
I know there's nothing more I can do

In fits and dreams, he speaks to me
He says these things beyond belief
I can not take his words as truth

(He comes to say his piece!)

[Verse 1]
I know he's travelled so far to find me in this landscape
Perilous and full of unknown treachery
And now he's giving his life to tell me things I can't face
How could I betray his utter trust in me?

[Pre-Chorus]
And with his final breath, he
Imparts his vital prophecy

[Chorus]
Carry on for your generation
You are the one to guide them all
Don't delay, your time has come
Lead the way into a brighter dawn
Carry on for your generation
You are the one to guide them all
Don't delay, your time has come
Lead the way into a brighter dawn
[Verse 2]
I must prepare for the path before me, ever daunting
Indemnify for my naiveté
And I can no longer hide away pretending nothing
When the world is ending right in front of me

[Pre-Chorus]
And with his final breath, he
Imparts his vital prophecy

[Chorus]
Carry on for your generation
You are the one to guide them all
Don't delay, your time has come
Lead the way into a brighter dawn
Carry on for your generation
You are the one to guide them all
Don't delay, your time has come
Lead the way into a brighter dawn

[Bridge]
And to bring honour to his soul
I will accept this righteous role
This nameless prophet that could see
That which resides inside of me
Deep inside, I reconcile my fear
Sustain my sickening apathy for good
For the worthiest of men, but a promise escapes me
Wicked blood will run

[Chorus]
Carry on for your generation
You are the one to guide them all
Don't delay, your time has come
Lead the way into a brighter dawn
Carry on for your generation
You are the one to guide them all
Don't delay, your time has come
Lead the way into a brighter dawn
