Fading Fast

A solemn shadow of the past,

A light in the darkness of memory.

Nothing more but stone,

Standing in the forest all alone.

Only memories left to comfort and to hold,

But even those are fading fast,

No one is left from the past.

It's only memories now.

There is nothing left,

Only the thought of the past,

But it's fading fast.

All of those who remember have gone home,

Over the Sea, and they're not coming back.

Yet, even now when you wander,

You can sense there is something here.

Though it is gone now, its presence will always linger.

You can feel it in your heart, a magic that cannot fade.

The heart of Elvendom on earth,

But you know it will always be,

Just a lonely memory.
