Our time is almost past
though our day has not yet come
to distant shadows I have cast
my hope too many times
Under the ashes, dust, unsetting sun
lie still dreams undone, unbroken
remnant wishes never spoken
Times may not be
what we once took them for
but the past is not all gone away
and as long as someone
still remembers my name
My song of solace
will remain the same
Rebirth waiting, come the spring
Utopia’s hatchling, distant king
a sweet remembrance he may bring
Memories of concrete skies
empty halls devoid of cries
no more souls dead on the clock
hard luck pressed and out of stock
Times may not be
what we once took em for
but the past is not all gone away
And as long as someone
still remembers my name
this song of solace
will remain the same
Maybe one day we’ll have a better world
a future for all so no one has to fear
for their home and their kind
A new place to be …
