Ashes Of Time

Will I be undone by desire?
Council me my will is weak
Shadows speak
I’m treading a wire
Strung between my dreamscape and defeat
Help me

When dusk descends will I look back in peace?
My seasons passed, my being breathed
And at the end what worthy cause did I defend?
Our legacy is all we leave

Cold hearts yearn for days lost, never seized
I fear the depths of my regret
Are lessons learnt in comfort and shelter
Or suffering the mountains steep?

Build your pyre
Torch the doubt
Kill the envy
My jealous streak won’t control me
Life of worth
All I want is my freedom
My time to keep
You can’t buy my loyalty

When dusk descends will I look back in peace?
My seasons passed, my being breathed
And at the end what worthy cause did I defend?
Our legacy is all we leave
