Memories

Shapes of men surround me, as the clouds obscure the moon
Never have I talked to them, for the spell will wither soon

Shadows of a life long gone, ashes of my past
Every face a memory, like a river old and vast

Wake me, for my dreams are cruel and I cant perceive the light
Take me to the shores of time, were the waves can heal my sight

The wind is bleak, my soul is weak and my love is gone -but why?
I'll meet her soon on the other side for the end is drawing nigh

Reach to my memories, and whisper in my ears
Tell me how the flowers bloom and wash away my fears

Reach to my memories, a thousand years before
Back when the earth was green and the waves embraced the shore

Ghosts of men surround me, we have walked this earth for long
All of them were lost, you see, this is why I wrote this song

They left my side when the reaper stroke, but I was left alive
A breathing corpse of a time gone by, perpetually to strive

Wake me, for my brothers left and I still walk alone
Take me to their resting place, where the flame of wisdom shone

The wind is bleak, my soul is weak and they all have gone -but why?
The years have passed, for ever gone, and the end is drawing nigh

Reach to my memories, and whisper in my ears
Tell me of when i saw your face and wash away my tears

Reach to my memories, a thousand years before
Back when our love was young
