Stop and Start

7 years until the hex is broken
7 years to endure the curse
And no magic words can be spoken
Potions and prayers will make it worse

The sadness comes with the setting sun
The war is won when the fight is done
Will you turn and run or can you stop right now?
You can start right now
Stop and start right now

Do it once just to answer the question
Know how it feels to be like them
But when the poison has left the system
You'll have your reasons to try again

The sickness comes like a rising sun
Now your war is won, what have you become?
Are you too far down to stop right now
You can start right now
Stop and start right now

Let the spirits of the fallen guide you
With every step and measured breath
Far away from the pain inside you
And focus on what you have left

When the sadness has won, then the madness comes
They kingdom come, thy will be undone
Are you too far down, to stop right now
