Lost
On waves
Of an endless sea
Under starlit skies
It returns to me
The strength from steel
And peace from blade
The calls now warped
The mind now frayed
Still as glass
This ocean deep
These answers drowned
Abyss to keep
Gently now
That promise made
The time, the strands
Of the fates to braid
A tender glance
At a weathered face
As the summers fade
And dissolve this space
The seasons turn
The warmth behind
The light of spring
Now repaid in kind
The void, that calls
The hour, that’s near
Under watchful skies
That song, so clear
The hand that weaves
The skin, and bone
It binds you now
Return to stone
Silver from the skyline
Mercury from ocean
Blackened as the remains
Ashen as the new day
Earth that lines the graveside
Waters at the high tide
Fire marks the turning
Air to fan the burning
Brighter as the light shines
Colder from the insides
Deeper as the waves break
Harsher spirit to wake
Faster for this last time
Longer hear the steel chime
Higher as the shade flies
Louder as the winds rise
Aon, Da, Tri, Ceithir
Silent cries, calling you
Ancient weights, release you
Rising now, to unfold
Whispering, let it go
The memories I cannot find
The faces of those left behind
The rage against the cruelty here
The hope gave way to hate and fear
This last farewell, a final gasp
As that cold hand, tightens its grasp
I will not bend, I will not break
Ready I stand, to face my fate
The void, that calls
The hour, that’s near
Under watchful skies
That song, so clear
The hand that weaves
The skin, and bone
It binds you now
Return to stone
