Words
From shallowed breath and whispered tongues
A specter passing by with echoes of the sun
The years have long since gone with nothing in their wake
Their ghosts are walking through me
Dust
Adorns the halls once filled with light
No names left to invoke, no poem left to cite
Yet I still hear our song of eons past
I watch my soul depart before me
A blaze that promises the dawn, long gone
What came before and that which longs to be
In embers of the past
Cold
To face the crushing waves of fear
One path before me, the way has been made clear
A distant spark may yet ignite a frozen heart
A hope for someone else, through lands I’ll never chart
Veiled
The smoke obscures a hollow gaze
All doors are locked, and broken windows sway
I wish them peace inside a warm embrace
It’s time to go now, with only silence in your place
These flames will purge creation, skies from heaven torn
A blaze that promises the dawn… long gone
What came before and that which longs to be
In embers of the past
The years have long since gone, with nothing in their wake
Their ghosts walking through me
I watch my soul depart and follow them
To leave this place forever
