Lake of Memory

As the flames reach for your breath
And your screams describe your death
No promise of an after life
Could make that moment any better

Written on strips of gold
The orphic inscriptions
May the last path that we walk
Burn in our hearts forever

We are children of the earth!
We are children of the stars and sky!
And would you save my life
Or would you take it?

How long must we wander these lands?
We will not forget

Would you save my life
Or would you take it?
The last tree on the left
To the lake of memory
Between night and day

If I am lost along the way
To the lake of memory

A new generation of war and hate
And we will not forget
I take these words to my grave
Let them lead the way
