Shattered Memories

They came as the sun was still sleeping
 Their eyes were hollow, full of emptiness
 They came here to end their sufferings
 Death is what they wanted, nothing less
 One by one, they burnt our shelters
 Destroyed what took a thousand years to build
 We fought back but soon we weltered
 In an unknown place
 Far from our dwelling
 We ran for what seemed a century
 Hoping that someday we would be free
 But nothing was to be found
 In this unknown place far from our mound
 We tried to start over
 But deep inside we knew it was all over
 For months we just layed down on the snow
 Trying to see the sun glow
 But we couldn't even breath the air
 And without knowing why, we just couldn't care
 This place we were
 Was the source of our despair
 This place we were
 Was not real
 We were straight in the devil's lair
 After an eternity he came to us
 He spoke for hours and we listened
 In the state we were, we couldn't regress
 Soon his speech reached an end
 Here the sun is dead
 Our winters never end
 Our hopes, our dreams
 Frozen, shattered memories
 He told us we were in the limbs
 That these grounds were made of our graves
 That we couldn't get out until we rebuilt
 What took a thousand years to build
 Slowly we tried to start over
 But deep inside we knew it was all over
 It was all over
 Left alone
 Eternally wandering
 Searching for the white
