Beyond the feeble reaches
Of conscious memory
A voice long forgotten
Echoes through the chamber of my thoughts
I cannot recall
The speaker or what was spoken
Just a whisper now
Still it's crying, screaming, wanting to be known
As dawn greets dew-wet grass
(A brother returns at last)
Seven years in patience passed
(Long since have laid my dreams to ash)
Ohh, rekindled flame
Dare not speak his name
Ohh! Unfettered son!
(What gifts you were given
Why then did you run)
As night draped silted shores
(No laughter is heard anymore)
Tales of terror and of war
(Hang heavy in the dampened midnight air)
Ohh, recall the dream
Hungers rising scream
Rays of glinting light
(Glancing off dew-wet blades this night)
(I was there
Where once our father rod
Beyond this mortal coil
Toward that precipice of stone
Which stands unchanged uncaring and old)
Countless wonders I have seen
Endless, endless skies of emerald green
Minds can never idle be
When magic... magic stirs beyond the trees
You know the things of which I speak
Secrets, secrets buried deep beneath
Still eclipsed in jaded truth
By the nameless wonders of my youth
Ohh, recall the dream
(In dreams we cannot die)
Hungers rising scream
(It calls us to it's side)
Rays of glinting light
(Glancing off dew-wet blades this night)
Come with me to better days
(To higher climes where few might stand)
And never shall we trade again
(On silted shores, on blackened sand)
