The Forgery

Back then
It was a time of need
Of blinding ignorance
An endless sleep of minds
With time
The laws of earth and sky
(And) the workings of the sea
Ceased to be arcane

Breathing the dreams
No one had dared
To look into - never!
Giving mankind the spark to ignite
All its dreams

Nameless I’ve become
A fallen hero, nothing more
Forever and a day
Watch me fall in solitude
Voiceless I’ve become
Watch me fall

Father!
Where were you when they lied
And tried me for their sins?
‘The days of wrath draw near’
Fire!
Come light the deepest night
And cleanse the wicked souls
The storm is yet to come

Breathing the dreams
No one had dared
To look into - never!
I gave mankind the spark to ignite
All its dreams

Nameless I’ve become
A fallen hero, nothing more
Forever and a day
Watch me fall in solitude
Voiceless I’ve become
Watch me fall

When the oceans of time
And the ink of the bards alike
Will have dried up forever
Whose song will be heard?

Nameless I’ve become
A fallen hero, nothing more
Forever and a day
Watch me fall in solitude
Voiceless I’ve become
Watch me fall
