The Whisper of the Ages

Edenbridge

twilight has fallen 
so deep like a hurricane's eye 
the empire's predictions 
came falling from the sky 

the voices keep calling 
they're speaking of fate to be sealed 
the riddles and rhymes 
of existence keep concealed 

the shrine to behold 
and not their hearts unfold 
for a lifetime 
faithfully following leaders they adore 

and in their sleep their last dreams fade away 
the whisper of the ages coming by to stay 
to dream those dreams away 
gone by forevermore 
into the never they are leaving 
whispers lead astray 
to dream those dreams away 

the symbols of power 
are melting the ice we are in 
the elegies written in candlelight begin 

the dices are rolling 
into a direction unknown 
the gods they are fearing 
have come to take the throne 

the phoenix will rise 
tearing off his disguise 
he is flying 
into the sun of a million dreams away 

(2x): 
and in their sleep their last dreams fade away 
the whisper of the ages coming by to stay 
to dream those dreams away 
gone by forevermore 
into the never they are leaving 
whispers lead astray 
to dream those dreams away
