Lest We Forget

 

Lest We Forget

Lest we forget

The dying of the day

When all the gold in this world

Ebbed away

And night as blankets

Fell in dark to cover

The crying child, the savage wild

The lover

The lover, lonely

In his shipwrecked bed

With naught but nightmares

Crying in his head

Lest we forget

The smiles

Now turned to scorn

As bittersweet sunrises

Call to morn

The morn

That dares not look upon the sky

But catches dreams in it's hands

As they die

For what is life

Without a dream to dream

All happy laughter

Turned into a scream

Perhaps we'll never know

Why love departed

And left it's ragged remnants

To this race so broken hearted

The world in sadness wept 

And it weeps yet

But raise those remnants high

Lest we forget.
