The Shades (The Fading Light Part 2)

Your broken sandglass is drained away
And you gleamed before disappearing
Your last light was brighter than the Sun
And this night was longer than our life...

Amongst the shades I stand in nowhere
The nothingness slowly invades me
All that I have is the last lost gleam of hope
All time when I wait the sunrise I hear your voice.

“I am a thousand wind that blow
I am the diamond dint on the snow
I am the gentle autumn rain
When you awaken in the morning hush."

As we live with our passion and die with our pain
I have had enough time to realize that
When I look at the mirror I see pale gloom and the traces of my last breath
Before I've disappeared I wished I could say my last goodbye to you
But there was no time and I disappeared like melted snow in your hand...

And now you are gone.
The emptiness that I've had swallows me, all my flesh
Till it turns, into ashes
And now I'm alone
The Burning fire makes me cold
And my soul is so old, and tired of empty hopes...

I have seen that angels when I've fallen
The sharpest suffering is for stayed ones, not for gones
If I will be hugged and covered by silence just remember me.

I am the sweet uplifting rush
Of the quiet birds in circled flight
I am the soft stars, that shine at night
Don't stand at my grave and cry
I am not here, I didn't die..."

As the last rays of the fading Sun are shining
I'll take them all to hide in the black hole from ones
Who exploited my lost days that passed in absence
Amongst the shades that have been living behind the Sun...

We'll be together in our remembrance forever
You can see me everywhere but not here (not at my grave)
"Don't stand at my grave and weep
I'm not there, I don't sleep...
