The Lifespan Of A Glimpse

we are, we pray, we stand naked in the morning rain
 we breath, we hope that there's more to life than this, my friend
 the shadow of a phoenix across the green water's surface glides
 moved by the beating of hearts
 the gentle hands of the wind
 we drown our pasts in half-light as we up open ourselves
 what was it that drew you near to me
 aching for the emptiness of a last embrace
 time never saves what time once stole
 and all our moments must die in a glimpse
 no sign or stains, we disappear
 and all the memories will fade with us
 where I'm going I'm going alone the unicorns have all gone
 we are, we see our initials carved in emerald
 we breath, we hope that the stranded starfish finally finds his way
 time never saves what time once stole
 and all the moments will die in a glimpse
 no sign or stains, all disappears
 and all the pictures will fade away
 where you're going you're going alone
 not one single spark remains
 it's so easy to believe that you can go back anytime
 it's so easy to think it will all come back
 you can touch it, you can sense it, you can't hold it your hands
 it's so easy to think that you will return
 i'm looking at you, you're looking at me as the magic clears away
 it's like walking with your eyes closed, dreaming of what could have been
 ashes of a king upon the wind, the mourning of a dragon echoing
 a prayer held for wars of long ago
 to leave the past behind, to let it go
 an oath of deathless love engraved in rain - the trembling of a glimpse - the perfect luck
 but nothing of this will outlive the day
 cause time led you astray...
