Memories Beyond Time

The days are getting darker

Out in the world of Men

I sit here in my Wooden Halls

As the time goes by, years, centuries

I do not speak as I am listening

No one needs to know my thoughts

I am in the silence, the void

Filled with old pictures, memories long lost

I remember those tombs of ancient kings

Once empty, unmade, so pure

And the time they came the graves of the men

Victims of death, curse of mortals, for sure

I even remember the first white flower

Blooming Simbelmynë on the lonely grave

Lonely resting place of a mighty king

Lord of The Horse Masters in the end of his grace

Yet it seems like it was yesterday

For me the time does not matter

It is like a stream going by

And as I stay still on the shore, I feel sadder

When I look at the flow

Of people living, dying, going by

No one sees I am still watching

So I turn my back to the stream and sigh

I sigh in relief and I sigh in sorrow

For no man remembers the old

I live only in legends and tales

Books, carvings, others they sold

I have wished for the winds from times beyond

To fulfil my hopes, my greatest dreams

But the wind keeps blowing by like the stream

Far to the West, shores of the mystic seas

And again I bow my head to the wind

I must still keep waiting, I see
