In Flames

Silence of dawn
Midnight’s still song
Dream paler than moon
Above cold touch of dew

Ghosts of home whisper to me
Through waning memory

Fire burns from a spark
Flames of passion and lust
Ashes and cinders of heart
Ever turned to black dust

Hope is pale where it lives
Dream tastes like fever
Among all the real realms

Your path is my home
Wherever it goes
Beyond the sun or under the moon
Dreams grow paler than hope
Sweeter than honey dew

Yours is the world that I live
Yours is the flame that I burn
A memory lost in tales so dim
A story untold yet to the end

Yours is the world from my dream
Yours is the flame burning in me
Life beyond real, light beyond eyes unseen

End of time restless dwells upon the edge of days
Ever lost, ever burnt I sing under your wing, in your flames…
