Shadows of Despair

Children of the land, do you hear Echoes of truths that once rang clear? Two souls intertwined One true love they did find Bringing land and heavens near But flames that burned full bright, soon fell dark Memories dimmed by shadowed hearts In the waxing gloom, did wane the lovers' moon Watching as their worlds drift apart One soul's cry, a passion dwelling within Sacrifice, a final plea to her kin Yet this bond of hope, by treachery was broke Scattering her words to the wind Swelling over long Seas of blood are a song And death an afterthought To those who fight for naught A throne lying empty A reign incomplete Alone for eternity A pain without cease Children of the land, answer this; Why must you turn to empty bliss? Tell me why break trust, why turn the past to dust Seeking solace in the abyss? Tell me why create a circle none can break? Why must you let go, the life you were bestowed? This I fear I'll never know Never know Children of the land, do you hear Echoes of truths that once rang clear?
