From an empty shore where the veil grew thin Where all life ended and eternity would begin where love was hate and acceptance was Sin The world kept turning and I, I would grin I smiled, I laughed, I cackled with glee This was us, just you and me Sitting alone, together, enjoying an absentee moment of silence in which we couldn’t flee We told stories that were epics of folk & Lore Which became legends of old, too hard to ignore Words bled from the heart, tired and sore and crying eyes, so broken and raw But winters ice kept us safe and warm While mountains watched us as we mourn we lay at their base so open and torn waiting for the stinging cold of the dawn I’ll tell you a secret so full of lies With a mouth crammed with butterflies and eyes that seek justice but never tries to open upon a shrieking soul that cries While the fire keeps burning The world keeps turning I will continue to yearn for your return

The Fire keeps Burning
From an empty shore where the veil grew thin Where all life ended and eternity would begin where love was hate and acceptance was Sin The world kept turning and I, I would grin I smiled, I laughed, I cackled with glee This was us, just you and me Sitting alone, together, enjoying an absentee moment of silence in which we couldn’t flee We told stories that were epics of folk & Lore Which became legends of old, too hard to ignore Words bled from the heart, tired and sore and crying eyes, so broken and raw But winters ice kept us safe and warm While mountains watched us as we mourn we lay at their base so open and torn waiting for the stinging cold of the dawn I’ll tell you a secret so full of lies With a mouth crammed with butterflies and eyes that seek justice but never tries to open upon a shrieking soul that cries While the fire keeps burning The world keeps turning I will continue to yearn for your return
