trying to remember
these forgotten words
closing my eyes
faintly, they are heard
repeating, repeating
need to know
all which is lost
praying, praying
the result of no memory
is a terrible cost
far away
in a distant land
time is as long
as the grains of sand
remember, remember
all of which
is gone
sing, sing
that once sweet
and mellow song
so far away
in a remote reality
coming closer and closer
to dark mortality
longing, longing
for that which was
my beloved past
forsake, forsake
this is too much,
too hard of a task
closing my eyes
and the last thing i see
is nothing but
a forgotten memory
hope, hope
all i have left
is nothing but dreams
enough, enough
to make all things
what they seem
like a flash
opening in new vision
my far away memories
are the world that has risen
