Lost in Memories, Lost in Grief

She walks alone Where once they danced Through barren soil Cloaked broken land A lover's arms so cruelly torn Away from hers Lost in memories, lost in grief The liar His words fall on fertile ground The fool Enamoured by the sound Promises Empty as his moral void And with the liar And with the fool Sanity destroyed I cannot see this ending well The innocent caught up in this hell Fury falls Twisted bitter hate And history shows, the driven souls Will kill and segregate He saw the world at war His hate, his fears were born Observing them with scorn His creed, his plans were formed Erase them everyone Run from the fools Run from the fools Fury falls Twisted bitter hate Twisted bitter hate Escape while you can Shun the liars Run from the fools From the incoming fires The forces of hatred The unfolding madness Turning from all that is sane Staining the earth once again Find a place to hide Before the fall of all mankind

Wolf waits at the door You know it's you he's waiting for Wolf sees when you come and when you go Revels in the ways of death and sorrow Black clouds form within your dreams Tainting all Fire burns withing your veins So afraid Wolf waits where you slumber He hears every prayer you utter You have become your master's slave Resisting cowering 'til the grave Black clouds form within your dreams Tainting all Fire burns withing your veins Never free from inner torment You've never seen him You think you feel him You think you know him You think he owns your soul Wolf was never here Wolf just survives within your thoughts One day regain your life Expel him from your mind

In the garden she moves Through the fountain of youth Where her future dreams Flow through her Painted birds whisper songs In the forests beyond And the lavender rain Falls upon her Beautiful shapes How the world creates Colour cast skies So far away In the garden she feels All that time has concealed She can fly, she can sing Love holds her Something sounds from beyond Interupting her song voices speak from the rooms All around her Beautiful thoughts Now the mind creates Colour cast skies So far away Here she belongs In her mind, she will live on The hands of time Leave her to her own designs Dreams come and go Rational thoughts collapse Her smile tells of peace But she loses her grasp Now you know she has gone And the flesh turns still She transcends Knows no pain And the fires render ash Or the worm will be fed A light has been lost From among us We wish she could walk free Somewhere better than this To her lavender garden Eternal Bliss Beautiful souls How the world creates Colour cast skies So far away Here she belongs In her mind, she will live on The hands of time Leave her to her own designs Here she belongs The hands of time She transcends Knows no pain Colour cast skies So far away

When you look back At the ocean Do you dream of Worlds you left behind When you look up At the mountains Do you wish You had scaled them all When you look back When you look back Upon your days Do you hope that You will live again When you look back As the sun sets What is left now Of time to come Will you come back home? Where you belong You will not turn to salt if you look back If you look back If you look back When you look back When you look back Come back home

As the sunlight fades See the twilight crawl As the forest sleeps Silvery streams reveal Another light Another light As the moonlight fades With the break of dawn Slumbering forest wakes Echoing under morning rays Another light Be still Nothing lasts forever If this is not your time There will come a time If you're lost in fading light Find another light Find another light

Though we steel ourselves for years Though the end is ever near In her eyes, she says farewell Nothing can prepare the mind For the loss of all this time Sudden end to slow decline Never more to see her smile Never more to see her try A last lullaby Slowly she leaves Slowly we grieve Carried us gladly Gave a place to hide Carried our burdens She was on our side Taught compassion Always dried our tears With our father Always present Always near By her poor hands Clothed and fed Each long night Laying down our heads Nothing spent To feed her own needs Within her chest Her innocent heart beat Slowly she leaves Slowly we grieve A light once flickered there As for a time, it will Until all things are taken The memories linger still She always opened the door Whomever entered through She would not shun or reject Those who gave her no respect Her love Her light Her Soul Brought us here We remember the mother of old We remember all her toil and strength We recall winters she kept us warm We recall long summers of blissful calm Oh, God! How did it ever end? Slowly she leaves Slowly we grieve With the roles reversed, we watched Like a little child, she sang Two weeks passed and she was gone Slow grief became a stone Her last lullaby We will remember the mother of old

No time to think No time to play No time for reflection No time to remember Blasted on all sides by mindless shit Try to reach out but nothing will stick We're onto the next facile novelty Craving the next quick fix No time No time No time It's over too soon Breathe the air In ancient woods Walk alone In blessed solitude See the world as it once was Unspoilt by our hands Feel the breeze upon your skin The moss beneath your feet Maybe here you can find Beauty lost to our times Think before we act, before we speak Why do we share our pain With those who do not understand us? Who are we deep inside? The soul behind the mask? Time to leave the false replies Tell me words I need to know To enrich this fleeting life Breathe the air Breathe the air Breathe the air It's over too soon It's over too soon

Why have you forsaken me When you once saw me as your kin All those years I walked the same path, Held the fire within With one word I fell from grace Bitter all that you embrace Blind to grief and deaf to misery While all this suffering is clear The judges feel no empathy Why have you forsaken me In times of fading light Hollow rings your proclamation Cold your words of condemnation As your idols crumble You now walk as one betrayed This path is closed to deviation Automaton and slave While all this suffering is clear The judges feel no empathy Written with sadness Written with anguish Written without holding back The burning heart now charred and black Darkness clawing at the soul The broken things that cannot be repaired A curse I hope you never know But something was released Paper scored beneath the pen When pain was revealed And truth was written then When all was laid bare on the page And nothing lay concealed Does honesty not deserve respect? So much lies unwritten yet Forgive, forget Forgive, forget Why have you forsaken me?
