The Restless Ones
Life's Sunset Gate behind
Sunrise Unknown before
Dare we tread the path
Through Death to Life?
I can see a way ahead
Past stones that bear the names
Of those who went before us
They were left in darkness long ago
We dare not dwell among them
The grass is growing green
O'er each and every head
They cry out in their sleep
These restless ones
They ever long for life
They'll soon have ours if we but linger
Each saddened shade
They rise up with a will
Defying our intentions
Memories of deeds
We need to leave here
They flee but never far
We run but they persue
With fell intent they race
We turn but they recede
The grass is growing green
O'er each and every head
They cry out in their sleep
These restless ones, they ever long
We dare not join their number
Through this graveyard old
Past its mounds of sorrow
She and I must go
And ever seeking home
My Love, my Love
Somewhere up ahead!
