Creeping forth are images distorted by time

Nights of youthful glory, the defining moments

As a fading gallery of someone else's life

The world's beauty elevated from this mire of concrete

The cold stares of this wretched city, I am all this madness amplified

As the story fades

Dearest memory to remnant of grey

What was once all, now the weakening life source

I'm a passenger, an ember of a different time

Has it all been said and done?

Have we conceded to what's been lost and won?

In my mind I still roam, radiant and pure

Desperate to find a way to dream again
