Lifelong Dream
I heard the voices stir and call
Then into this dark abyss I did fall
I fell forever, fell into a dream
Then I looked up and I saw the beam
A beam of light and strength did shine
We dined on bread and slaked on wine
I awoke from this dream, this lifelong sleep
My dear love had died, I did weep
How did my life pass me by so quick?
My life had burnt down like the candle wick
I pick the pieces up, one by one
For my life was not yet done
Where do I start on this lifelong quest?
And where should I choose to rest?
This lifelong quest I shall never finish
Before I'm done my life shall diminish
This lifes been good, this lifes been bad
Though the endings rather sad
I lost the lover, I lost my dreams
Now I shall only hear the screams
And the sounds of my fathers call
They bid and beckon forth us all
I lay my head to this eternal chant
Now my thoughts I'll no longer recant
