Tanagra - Sydria

Ashes where we rose
Scattered by the winds of time
Only dust remains
But the memories survive

Relics disappear
Fading more and more each day
Our garden of life
Has withered away

Close your eyes and see our home
Distant, like a dream
Tomorrow, the loudest whisper
Yesterday a hollow scream

Ancestors’ fate
Descendants’ fall from grace
Remember whence you came
Lest you lose your way

Wings of nostalgia
Carry us through ancient skies
Face the ghastly vision
Of the cosmic and divine

Close your eyes and see our home
(An emerald shimmering)
Distant, like a dream
(Out of reach)
Tomorrow, the loudest whisper
(takes us back to yesterday)
Yesterday a hollow scream
(and the cycle repeats)

Close your eyes and see our home
(No one else will know our story)
Distant, like a dream
(Who will remember us?)
Forever trapped within this self-fulfilling prophecy
(Eternally)
