Something to remind

The air is getting cold.
...Or that's what I've been told.
My time is getting short.
I don't need no support.

I want to leave something behind.
Something alive...

The sky is turning black.
There is no turning back.
I need to do this now.
I really don't know how.

I want to leave something behind.
A triumph of my design...

Now it's time to go.
Time to say goodbye to all of you.
I won't see you grow,
But I know that you will glow like no other.

The ground starts to freeze.
I can feel the northern breeze.
Everything is long since gone.
I'll be here from now till dawn.

I want to leave something behind.
Something to remind...
