The Promethean Legacy
I've seen the winds while turning to storms<br/> Beauty and tempest entwined<br/> In my hands I keep sand and dust<br/> Silently (they) witness the fall of empires<br/> <br/> Tell me, why do we long for the stars?<br/> Tell me if every dream of men is destined to an end<br/> Why do we long for the stars?<br/> Tell me if it is for they guide us in the night<br/> <br/> I've crossed lands where splendor used to dwell<br/> Found out decline came before<br/> Seen ruins instead of marble halls<br/> (And) golden thrones, the legacy of those days<br/> Wrought with dreams ceased to be<br/> <br/> Tell me, why do we long for the stars?<br/> Tell me if every dream of men is destined to an end<br/> Why do we long for the stars?<br/> Tell me if it is for they guide us in the night

Lost inside this lonely ship<br/> Heard the call of the sea<br/> Nothing but a will to see<br/> The seducing path of the unseen<br/> <br/> Gone astray by wandering<br/> Lonely shepherd of dreams<br/> I long for the poetry<br/> Of lands where time itself got still<br/> <br/> The wreck of hope...<br/> The wreck of hope...<br/> <br/> The wreck of hope...<br/> <br/> I've crossed the oceans of time and space<br/> Gone beyond the lands of men<br/> <br/> Landscapes drawn by higher hands<br/> Hurl me down beautitude<br/> It is for "Where pure grace ends<br/> The awe of the sublime begins"<br/> <br/> As I float away I think:<br/> "At last I became king<br/> A bunch of stars over me<br/> (An) infinite wilderness beneath"<br/> <br/> The wreck of hope...<br/> <br/> I've crossed the oceans of time and space<br/> Gone beyond the lands of men

Can't conceal<br/> My growing thirst<br/> For reveries to come<br/> <br/> Like the rain<br/> That fails to fall<br/> I'm trapped in distant skies<br/> <br/> Could I ever<br/> Reach the source<br/> Of the awe-inspiring myth<br/> <br/> When the rain<br/> Colossally falls<br/> Memories dead and gone<br/> <br/> Follow me<br/> As I will follow you<br/> On a path ending up<br/> Where the dreams<br/> Lie forsaken<br/> <br/> Follow me<br/> As I will follow you<br/> On a path ending up<br/> Where the dreams<br/> Lie forsaken<br/> <br/> Can't elude<br/> Echoes of wonder<br/> Reverberating deep<br/> <br/> Recollecting<br/> Shards of dreams<br/> I'll leave the gray behind<br/> <br/> Will I ever<br/> Leave this region<br/> Of fainting promises<br/> <br/> Walk about<br/> Millennia-shaped trails...<br/> <br/> Follow me<br/> As I will follow you<br/> On a path ending up<br/> Where the dreams<br/> Lie forsaken<br/> <br/> Follow me<br/> As I will follow you<br/> On a path ending up<br/> Where the dreams<br/> Lie forsaken

Past tales of awe<br/> Drive us to love<br/> Among the ruins<br/> The stellar vault<br/> As only witness<br/> <br/> Cast about for harmony<br/> Hold on to the stars above<br/> Cast about for harmony<br/> We may<br/> <br/> Feel the elements now<br/> As conspire with the traces<br/> Of a past that's set to relive<br/> In our unquiet dreams<br/> <br/> Past tales of awe<br/> Drive us to love<br/> Among the ruins<br/> The stellar vault<br/> As only witness<br/> <br/> Cast about for harmony<br/> Hold on to the stars above<br/> Cast about for harmony<br/> We may<br/> <br/> Among gardens where<br/> The tall pillars of grace once stood<br/> We got lost, so to feel<br/> That on aeon's walls we dwell

Temples shall fall apart<br/> As only legacy<br/> Of times come<br/> With every kind of gift<br/> <br/> Shall we be there to see<br/> As emblem of an age<br/> Of decay<br/> Icons in a wasteland<br/> <br/> Divine earth scenery<br/> Shall grow into <br/> Desert fields withered<br/> By the strife of eras<br/> <br/> By the doors of decline<br/> What shall be left of<br/> Such a wondrous<br/> Age of unbound beauty

For every tear that falls<br/> Elegy of the restless<br/> What has been is no more<br/> Elegy of the restless<br/> <br/> For every dream untold<br/> Elegy of the restless<br/> What I've been I'm no more<br/> Elegy of the restless<br/> <br/> As a path's over<br/> Another's yet<br/> To be chosen for a while<br/> <br/> (The) rhymes I wrote<br/> Once on melancholy sands<br/> Are echoed by the stars<br/> <br/> For every tear that falls<br/> Elegy of the restless<br/> What has been is no more<br/> Elegy of the restless<br/> <br/> For every dream untold<br/> Elegy of the restless<br/> What I've been I'm no more<br/> Elegy of the restless<br/> <br/> Can you hear a melody<br/> Coming from<br/> The shores of oblivion<br/> <br/> It's the same as the one<br/> That comes from within<br/> Entwined with my verse

By ageless voices<br/> Rises seduction again<br/> Of a world that sinks<br/> There's plenty for you to sing<br/> <br/> A restless chorus<br/> Set to retrace all the pain<br/> Into remembrance<br/> See the old sun fade away<br/> Sun fade away<br/> <br/> Have the ancient ones<br/> Ever talked to you<br/> Let the ancients' voice<br/> Talk to you once more<br/> <br/> Have the ancient ones<br/> Ever talked to you<br/> Let the ancients' voice<br/> Talk to you once more<br/> <br/> (The) downfall of ancients<br/> Could not hush forlorn dreams up<br/> Of beauty unending<br/> Yearned we have and always will<br/> <br/> By scattered ruins then<br/> Decadence has tuned my lyre<br/> For me to create<br/> Hymns to adorn its abode<br/> Adorn its abode<br/> <br/> Have the ancient ones<br/> Ever talked to you<br/> Let the ancients' voice<br/> Talk to you once more<br/> <br/> Have the ancient ones<br/> Ever talked to you<br/> Let the ancients' voice<br/> Talk to you once more<br/> <br/> Have the ancient ones<br/> Ever talked to you<br/> Let the ancients' voice<br/> Talk to you once more<br/> <br/> Have the ancient ones<br/> Ever talked to you<br/> Let the ancients' voice<br/> Talk to you once more<br/> <br/> Have the ancient ones<br/> Ever talked to you<br/> Let the ancients' voice<br/> Talk to you once more<br/> <br/> Have the ancient ones<br/> Ever talked to you<br/> Let the ancients' voice<br/> Talk to you once more

Torn by bleak winds<br/> I cannot seize<br/> The memories are<br/> The ones that keep<br/> Visions of splendor<br/> And decay<br/> <br/> Behold them as messengers<br/> Of sorrow born of bliss<br/> For lands once beautiful<br/> Were taken by the storm<br/> <br/> Made of clay<br/> Are the dreams<br/> I pave my own way with<br/> Like the ruins<br/> Of the world before<br/> Being swept away<br/> <br/> Through solitude they'll decay<br/> To dust degenerate<br/> For winds to rule supreme<br/> 'Til a new dawn begins
