Ashen Soliloquy

[Verse] Lost in time here I stand Stone and silence fill the land Hear the echoes ghostly call Shadows dance around the wall [Verse 2] Once so bright now gray and cold Lava tales that remain untold In this pose I wait and dream Frozen in a silent scream [Chorus] Oh Pompeii hear my plight Turned to stone in the night World moved on left behind Memories carved in my mind [Verse 3] Whispers in the ancient air Cries of life caught unaware Time's a thief with a cruel hand Took away our promised land [Verse 4] Living statue I remain Mark of history’s bitter stain Waiting for another age To unlock my silent cage [Chorus] Oh Pompeii hear my plight Turned to stone in the night World moved on left behind Memories carved in my mind
