Forget Not

Masquerading, the grey vultures Coalescing in black swansongs Of the dead As the dead sigh Therein the quickening shadows Kisses upon lifeless fingers As the dead sigh As the dead sigh Of always As the dead sigh Over the frontier of always In remembrance, they are anthems The anthems Forget not For those gone Forget not Never Down by the waters, beneath the willow drapery Cold, timeless prince... Cloaked in raven wings Two penny moons, passage through the boatman Across starlit waters, where dreamscapes are golden How they lived they will be remembered We now stand in the footsteps of the anthems Ne obliviscaris For the noble souls that were and will be What waits beyond (On the dead sigh on) In exile's garden sings of the unknown (Ne obliviscaris) The renaissance of death (They are anthems) Echos eternally, alls not lost (Ne obliviscaris) Death echoes (Forget not) Death echoes (Forget not) Forget not Never
