Succession

I lay beside you Ignited, for the thousandth time Who will light it When there's no one left alive I beg forgiveness for forgetting With all the years gone by Alone and lost in time This skin belongs to me But I'll lie in flames and soon be free All you've known, all you've seen Falls to ash, grows (fades) to green In the age of rebirth You'll return, roots and earth I beg forgiveness for forgetting I staggered in through the trees To a place where lilies grow To a place that I did know In an age so long ago I fell to my knees In a place where lilies grow Where ashes found their home I sank through the leaves in that place where lilies grew near a thousand years ago I can't be blamed There's no remembrance in after days When the distance is an age and the years have changed our face
