Rebirth of an Old Nation |
As Erthe’s beauty fades |
Behind bright, blinding lights |
Will I still recall |
The smell of the woods |
My home |
The lone and silent elk |
The damp, misty air |
The allure of the erthe? |
I must posses a mind |
Not to be changed by place or time |
Not to be poisoned by |
The stench of progress |
I remember when |
I had a brother and a friend |
A friend whose struggles |
I alone have witnessed |
When I saw him there |
Crumbling face, empty stare |
A great, heaving sigh |
I, at last, said good bye |
The sky is black with fog |
Black with the souls of those who’ve lost |
That fleeting breath which they called life |
I step into the mist |
Recalling the place she and I lived |
Hoping to find some semblance of old joy |
But alas her tender spirit |
Has gone away at last |
For in my most desparate hour |
She did not come |
No empty blessings |
No friendly ghost |
To fill me with false hope |
Or haunt me with happy dreams |
Still I was drunk by the prospect |
That she may sit beside me |
When my trials were through |
I walk along the sand |
By the cold, brackish water |
«It's hard to remember |
The paths we used to take» |
It’s hard to walk in this thick mud |
And I begin to sink |
«Vocant me deus |
Numquam ita sentitur |
Humana» |
