The Unforgotten Name

There was a time when all hope was lost
The carcass of dreams lay at our feet
And words fell on silenced ears
All bridges crossed
Consumed by the fires of all we'd achieved

A breath of cold by day
Remembers warmth that was within
Like a ghost finally unbound from its prison
Solemnly, I swear to vanquish darkness in your name
I swear your light will permeate my being

There was a time when all hope was lost
The carcass of dreams lay at our feet
And words fell on silenced ears
All bridges crossed
Consumed by the fires of all we'd achieved

The unforgotten name
The cherished flame that you began
I have born and by night I was forgiven
Seasons passed but you remained
From anguish I became incandescent
You have raised me from the dead

There was a time when all hope was lost
The carcass of dreams lay at our feet
And words fell on silenced ears
All bridges crossed
Consumed by the fires of all we'd achieved

This I'll always hold dear
