It's been a while, been about almost a month

You stranded us here and vanished into the blue

Now the ship is left without a captain

Tell me, tell me how I must navigate without you.

The night was cold, the stars went to sleep

I was with my blokes, all busy in a silly game

Never had a thought of what's coming for us

Sarcastic when you got nobody, nobody to blame.

As they kept ruminating on how to save a man

I derided myself for failing in the first place

Wish you gave me a bit more time, a bit more time

Wish I drove faster and didn't lose in the last race.

No, I didn't cry, I didn't when they said you're gone

Nor when you were devoured by the sweep of flame

It is only a chapter closed, climax of some sort

Now the picture on the wall only speaks your name.

It's been a while we embarked on without you

The shrieks of death still haunt me through the night

As I still hear you screaming in pain unbearable

Nightmares transpired even in a room full of light.

It's been a while I'm finally moving on without you

And so, I will, I will as I have to struggle with being sad

You may watch from up above, but you aren't coming back

I miss you; I miss you so very much, Dad!
