The Prodigal Ones

The stars no longer guide their flight
Shadows dance where light once reigned
Eyes that once revered the night
Now forsake the radiant dreams once dreamt

Whispers fade on ancient winds
Tales once told now drift away
Children lost in nightfall's dim
Wander far from dawn's bright reign

For we are broken
Awoken at the demise of I
The forsaken
Children wandering astray

Forgotten songs, the silent hands
Echoes of the heart's demands
As twilight calls, the dark expands
Lost within forsaken lands

Whispers fade on ancient winds
Tales once told now drift away
Children lost in nightfall's dim
Wander far from dawn's bright reign

For we are broken
Awoken at the demise of I
The forsaken
Children wandering astray
We are broken
Blessed in the nameless' eye
The foretoken
The return of the prodigal ones

Rattling voices linger in the haze
Erstwhile bright flames now dimmed and cold
Souls stray through the darkened days
Lost within the words untold
The orphans of a desolate world disowned

For we are broken
Awoken at the demise of I
The forsaken
Children wandering astray
We are broken
Blessed by the nameless' eye
The foretoken
The return of the prodigal ones
