Long ago,
Back in time,
Before today
Too far away
It is unreachable

Yet still we have our stories
Yet still we have our songs
To tell the tales of long ago
Far along and far along

Later, later, we will see
What it's like to be
Left behind, forgotten
Never known anymore
Chipped and weathered
Like a great stone

Those last words, we may see
At the stance of the grave
But yet forgotten, they may be
Remembrance of the brave
Maybe if we leave behind
Our importance of long ago
Perhaps these shadows of the past
Won't seem like shadows anymore
