Burnt Town

Verses they write
Tales they tell
Of the glory and pride
Behind the tears and pain

Ballads of ancient town
Still dwelling around
Though no past might
There you can now find

Deep in the ashes its ruins hide
Once burnt to dust in merciless fire
It silently rests beyond the mountain high

Dead soil, dark ground beneath
Still endeavours to read the prophecy real
Deep beyond the legends in an eye of a dream

Once again to walk this town
To awake the memory sleeping inside
Painting the pictures ungone
Of that night of fire and wrath
Making the fear slowly flow
