Riverchild

Another soul joined the stars tonight your spirit is coming home Another light shines through the endless night So far from home, yet not alone Another day, another restless fight I feel so lost since you are gone A mother's light shines so bright tonight One last message to your son Another day and I will take the fight I have to do what must be done Oh mother, please come down tonight to guide your son, to see what I've become! Your flame – still burns within my eyes Your voice – still speaks to our minds Your name – we honor for eternity Your words – your word shall be thy legacy to me!

RUTHLESS AND WILD A MESSENGER OF A LONG GONE TIME RESTLESS IN IT'S MIND A NAMELESS AND FACELESS PARADIGM A WITNESS OF OUR CRIMES ENRAGED BY THE DAYS FULL OF SAVAGE LIES CAN'T YOU SEE THE THREATENING SIGNS? WILL YOU CONCEAL WHAT YOU FEEL WHILE YOU KNEEL AT THE END OF YOUR TIMES? FORCEFULL AND COLD WAVE AFTER WAVE BUILT A THOUSANDFOLD WHERE POWERS OF OLD CHANNELED THEIR ENERGIES YET UNKNOWN BUT WHY WAS IT SO HARD TO SEE? THAT I AM THE SOURCE OF THE STORM, THAT COMES OVER ME? THAT I AM THE KEY I FAILED TO SEE BEYOND THE WALLS AROUND ME I MISSED TO WALK ANOTHER WAY I FAILED TO FREE THE MAN I ALWAYS MEANT TO BE A MAN WHO SLOWLY FADES AWAY DAY BY DAY RECKLESS AND STRONG THE VERDICT OF NATURE HAS PROVED US WRONG HERE WHERE I BELONG THE WATERS OF OLD STILL SING THEIR SONGS WE ARE NOT HERE TO RULE THE WORLD! SO MANY LESSONS YET TO BE LEARNED! HOW COULD WE CLAIM SO MUCH OF WHAT WAS NEVER OURS? WHY DO WE AIM FOR SO MUCH MORE THAN LIES WITHIN OUR POWERS? IT IS TOO LATE TO CHOOSE MY SIDE I'LL FACE MY FATE AND WILL NOT FIGHT THIS UNFORGIVING TIDE

A simple word Just a whisper From far far away (Far away) A silent thought May move a mountain one day A single breath Joining the winds in the sky May seal my death Yet my words My words refuse to die A single breath Joining the winds in the sky May seal my death While my words refuse to die Refuse to die
