They say you either die a hero
Or live long enough to see yourself become a villain
But when a man lives as both
Walking a tight rope
Crossing and crossing again
That fine line
Between nobility
And savagery
Between gentle kindness
And righteous fury
You rode through the night
And chased the wind
Only to return
To wipe away tears
And teach questionable wisdom
When a man lived as you did
He is bound to join the fallen
King of decaying castles
Your pain echoes
In the halls of my brain
But even broken
You taught me
You made me who I am
Thank you is not enough
And I don’t know how to say goodbye
Every engine’s roar
Is your ghost
The smell of leather
Makes me remember
The jingle of keys
Makes me search for you
Somewhere you are glory
Giving the after-life a run for its money
Untamable
Just like me
A rebel to the end and beyond
Just like me
I waited too long to shed tears for you
Just like you wanted me to
Wherever you are
Outrunning
The devil himself
Look behind your shoulder
And smile
I am your daughter through and through
