The days pass in a fashion
Styled on those of long ago
Things haven't changed all that much
Since we sought the treasures of old
Memories keep evading me
With the mists shading them from me
And the rain keeps splattering along these cobbled walks
So heavenly in the moonlight
But once the day's raised the secrets talk
There were whispers weaving in and out but my ears were worthless
Mindless of my wavering
I was lost in the world I'd created
Fear is a thing I'd deny knowing
But in truth it's all that I understand
My one ruler with absolute command
With my hopes and my dreams
Crumbling around me
Waiting still for them to feel more real
Than what I have dreamed of before
In the nightmares I've sought
Just to keep my heart above water
Though my eyes feel so tired
And trapped as though in a drought
Oh my fears
If you could only know
If you could know
How they still seem to grow within me
And yet how they fuel me
Left to slip away in the moonlight
But their shadows sparkle in the glaze
And my tears are now a miracle when they fall as crystal stars
Slipping into freedom as they fall and strike the barren earth
My dreams fade into reality all too soon
With my many centuries spent searching for and dancing with the moon
I have seen a thousand years go by and stay the same
Undistinguished by their age I see their fear
And their dreams
And their lives are interwoven by the seams I thought weren't sewn
But the thread is still being broken in this night that I've awoken
And the stars still shine
With the intensity of time
