As time flows see the glow of flames ever burning bright, on the swift rivers drift broken memories alight

I have lost something time's flow can't restore.

How will the light survive without its heart?

What will it take just to see her once more?

The river of time left us on its shore

But when I woke she and I were apart.

I have lost something time's flow can't restore.

The head lost its heart to the tides of war.

It was far too soon for us to depart.

What will it take just to see her once more?

My story is stained with horror and gore.

It's impossible to make a fresh start.

I have lost something time's flow can't restore.

This head is now the one they all adore.

For order's sake, I'll choose what to impart.

What will it take just to see her once more?

I was left alone in the snow and hoar.

The flow of time refuses to restart.

I have lost something time's flow can't restore.

What will it take just to see her once more?
