Regal Motives lyrics

These tired old eyes they well up

In memories of those known

As if in an endless procession

They stood, stooped, shuddered

The follies of men in life

Existing but moments in time

Fooled by ceaseless days

Seen through mortal senses

Many lessons to be learned

If only to take hold in heart

Passed on to other souls

That life could be less difficult

By lessons learned in earnest

So slips and scrapes be lessened

By the prudent and world wise

A legacy given anonamously

Passed down lore of preservation

Compassion for descendants

Given without recognition

Some of the most gracious rewards

Bestowed in noblest fashion

To even the meakest of regality
