What happened Where did you go Laughing away life Gave way to silenced ghosts Fighting turned to fading Resisting reduced to caving All it got you was a name Etched in cold hard stone Haunted dreams Stalk my nights Searching for that Lost goodbye A lifetime of memories Made in such a short time Bittersweet was the feast Upon which we dined Now go rest in your slumber Sweet child of light Embrace your newborn wings Lift your eyes towards heaven And take your maiden flight

Maiden flight
What happened Where did you go Laughing away life Gave way to silenced ghosts Fighting turned to fading Resisting reduced to caving All it got you was a name Etched in cold hard stone Haunted dreams Stalk my nights Searching for that Lost goodbye A lifetime of memories Made in such a short time Bittersweet was the feast Upon which we dined Now go rest in your slumber Sweet child of light Embrace your newborn wings Lift your eyes towards heaven And take your maiden flight
