Stories burried in rubble
Ancient castles stand still
Look around me
Look in me
I am them
Old paintings, broken mirrors
Cobwebs above
What is hidden below?
Leave it there
Let it be
Century old walls
Stone and mortar
Keep away new battles
Others within
No light, no power
No fire, just cold
Ghosts of life once lived
Music and dance
Filled every corner
Touched every room
Now a peaceless silence
Echoes of voices long gone
In the depths
Of this restless heart
