We are all left in this world alone Collecting names of lovers lost And through this loss we long to live again, But again is not the option As making one’s self small is not the option, Only in strength and enlightenment do we create what is desired, There is no future in shrinking Or searching for the past There is no greatness found in stone already tread What we desire is before us And the decaying past will only push us towards what we truly desire. Be brave in times of disrepair Lead yourself before following the folly rules of those unfit All is well when truth lies within When strength is unwavering And principles can be held true Tell them I sang the ancient psalms at dusk when strong men wept

Lovers Lost
We are all left in this world alone Collecting names of lovers lost And through this loss we long to live again, But again is not the option As making one’s self small is not the option, Only in strength and enlightenment do we create what is desired, There is no future in shrinking Or searching for the past There is no greatness found in stone already tread What we desire is before us And the decaying past will only push us towards what we truly desire. Be brave in times of disrepair Lead yourself before following the folly rules of those unfit All is well when truth lies within When strength is unwavering And principles can be held true Tell them I sang the ancient psalms at dusk when strong men wept
