Lyrics Ruins - Carved in Stone

Ruins

Quiet ruins
Covered with snow
They keep the legends from ages long ago;
The stones are silent
But yet they talk
Their words are full of magic, so if you walk alone
Do not be frightened
And have no fear
There´s nothing there to hurt you, nobody´s near;
And if there are whisp´rings
Out of the snow
Then you are told a holy secret only you must know…
Quiet ruins
Covered with green
How long have they been standing, what have they seen?
They´re old and rotten
But full of might
Who would not be craving for knowing who lived inside
The walls, when they were standing
Strong, young and high?
Perhaps kings and queens were born here, or here they did die…
Nobody knows it
Only the grey wall;
It is the one and only witness who knows it all
Quiet ruins
Let them dream
And let them stand there in the sunlight´s golden stream;
Their days are over
So let them rest
And dream forgotten dreams in the grey shadows that they cast
When summer´s sun is shining;
And when it´s grey
Then let the old songs of the kings wash all your tears away
And keep your holy secret
Let noone know
And think about it when you see the ruins in the snow…
