Their memories are forged into tales
Woven into songs
With words that have lost their meaning
What shape the legends had
Merciless force of time has eroded
Twisting the form
Changing the rhyme
Creating a golden calf
An illusion of understanding
An abomination of profound wisdom
The lost voice of their Father
Chorus:
They are dead in the darkening world
Keepers of a light long gone
Searching for the truth
Stumbling in the dark
Marching towards their downfall
In pale shades of light long gone
Their world`s coming down
Reason just beyond their reach
Their ways - an inwards spiral
Chasing a vision
Every step a leap of faith
In joy they sing their hollow praises
Hanging only in thin air
They`re ever marching and never hearing
The dying echoes of their deathknell
