Buried Under Centuries
In dreams washed out in grey
A foreboding red sunrise
The sky falls to pieces
And decapitates the night
Every morning I remember
The encapsulating dark
And reach out to the sun
The fiery dawn erupts in embers
It's bright resounding arc
Toppled the castles one by one
Once a silver titan
A beacon in the night
Now engulfed in flames
The gloom will never brighten
The ruins, a shadow of night
Buried with their names
The beholders still will wonder
Was it ever there at all
What legends are buried under
The centuries of snowfall
Did the ancestors fail their mission
To bring the ancient ones to life
Did the snow obstruct their vision
Did the cold cut like a knife
And I can hear them screaming
For the joy that never came
Forever lost in the mist of the morning
The sun breaks over the mountains
And petrifies their bones
Now they sleep
A foreboding red sunrise
The sky falls to pieces
And decapitates the night
Every morning I remember
The encapsulating dark
And reach out to the sun
The fiery dawn erupts in embers
It's bright resounding arc
Toppled the castles one by one
Once a silver titan
A beacon in the night
Now engulfed in flames
The gloom will never brighten
The ruins, a shadow of night
Buried with their names
The beholders still will wonder
Was it ever there at all
What legends are buried under
The centuries of snowfall
Did the ancestors fail their mission
To bring the ancient ones to life
Did the snow obstruct their vision
Did the cold cut like a knife
And I can hear them screaming
For the joy that never came
Forever lost in the mist of the morning
The sun breaks over the mountains
And petrifies their bones
Now they sleep
