Veteran

Tainted heart of stone (it washed up on the shore)
(Began to sing)
Nourished by ghosts (arousing back the core)
Haunted by hope he sails
(Of what has been)

Beneath the river bed (sound reshaped the form)
Lay to rest
(Unveiled the dream)
Hardened by cold (no wing is light of chores)
Dreams that evolved to tale
(Nor spared from sin)

Carried away (the hunt takes off once more)
Children of fate he sings
(Ain't no escaping)

The song that no one sings
Will sink us down again

Wilder than my hate
Stillest than my peace
Wider than my sight
Thinner than my ears

Longer than my dreams (it washed up on the shore)
Shorter than my judgment (began to sing)
Bigger than my body (arousing back the core)
Smaller than my wish (of what has been)
Eager as the deadlines (the sound reshaped the form)
Apathetic from belief (unveiled the dream)

No wing is light on chores
(The song that no one sings)
Nor spared from sin
