Shadow Of Time

Sacred and lost on the white shimmering coast
Core of the heart, shore for a torn world

Forever through the shadow of time
Walking the river of tides
I caress a memory of long withered night

Where is my home now
As the woods are deserted?
Where is my love now
As the heart is torn from the chest?
Still beating with a rhythm of snowflake’s fall

Far from homeland, apart
Too far from a heart
I used to call my lifespark
The only dreamlight
Fallen star guiding me through the dark

Where are you now as the woods are deserted?
Where are you now as the oceans are dried?
Where is a wonder reviving me through the veil of fears?
Where is dark blade still swaying upon the altar of time?
Words seared the air with deep longing and hope
Dwelling in silence for a name of dear heart

Through the night where wishes lie
I dream beneath of dreamworlds and kites
Colours of prayers for a one who walks through my heart
