Twilight Mists lyrics

How could we forget

When to go to frequent

Their portraits posted

They remain young

While we wear down

Their glory, a word

Worn like the gloss

Of aging polished stone

A poor trade for a son

Cold, hard, lifeless

If tears could grow

These gardens abundant

Eden would exist here

Instead, but silence

Ominous e'er constant

In the twilight mists

Standing so spectral

Sentries silent arrowed

On eternal guard yet

Awaiting redemption

Patiently they watch

In tranquility abided

For their comrades

Left behind to care

Obligated brethren

On this side of life

Keeping our promises

To them, to self still

For noble task met

By brevity of an age

They remain young

Forever to be so

While the hours flee

And time claims all

In its twilight mists
