"Remembrance" Verse I Silence, like a dry river not flowing, the sounds of laughter are gone, left behind on a broken sword. Friendships, in unseen moments are lost, a declaration of war ruins it all, turning friend against friend... Chorus In past summer days, their hair blue and gray Blew together in sapphire skies. But... Now he lies under brown sod While she through life trods With a heart stained with a scarlet lie. Verse II Two years, an eternity past, meeting for the first time in the dawn rising over the walls of the city. Three friends striking a pledge of honour, becoming brothers, sister, but the promise was broken too soon... (Chorus) Verse III Childlike, once upon a time she believed that if she could fight she could protect those whom she held dear in her heart. Never did she think the path she chose would lead her sword arm to fell demon and friend all in the same stroke... (Chorus) Coda In past summer days, their hair blue and gray Blew together in sapphire skies. But... Now he lies under brown sod While she through life trods With a heart stained with the scarlet lie... of war. Copyright Sebastian Leung 2004 Remembrance
