Glass Hammer - We Slept, We Dreamed lyrics

So long ago it was
'neath fragrant bowers we met
Like pillars, oak and elm rose
Towering over our heads and spring was nigh

In youth we were heedless
Reckless and in love
Throwing care to the wind never noticing
Time meanced all and all we held dear
So we dance in moonlight 'neath starry skies
As gentle winds were stirred
Time could not catch us
We dancers in twilight for as swift as deer
We ran from him for being young
We saw not that he would win the Truth!
We could not see the Truth!
Straight as an arrow we flew to him
He ran not behind but before us

Years, how they fled and we were left
Two wanderers roaming lost 'mid the trees
And the shadows that we'd made
Were following, ever following
Weary of dancing now the race was over
For youth was spent and we could not change
All that was done

Time can seem such a bitter thing
For this is the song he sang to us
Curses you wrought and death pursued
In countless ways a doom you wooed
And it's left you here at last alone
All alone

Wake now! Rise now!
There remains a light ahead and I see it!
It leads homeward where Time can't follow
Time can't touch us sleep, he bid us sleep
Amid the stones we lay he left us here

Sorrow heaped on sorrow
Yet beneath this crushing weight
We'll struggle through

It matters not what horrors
He may thrust on us to weigh us down
He must not be given the final say

We'll loose the chains he's place on us
And head for home his comrades gather close
They are the Shadows of Regret
They loom, we fall ex sepulchro atro gemimus
Pallidi trementes per frigus
Corda immota tamen errant
Curis anxa perpetuo inexpleta nam ardant
