Lyrics

The margins hold forgotten names,
Too faint for stone alone.
Some truths outlive the passing years,
Beyond the reach of time.

The smallest choice can shift an age,
Though no one sees it move.
The deepest currents shape the tide
Long before the waves.

Turning slowly,
Out of focus,
Guided by
An unseen hand.

Nothing disappears forever,
Nothing fades without a trace.
Every lifetime leaves a mark
Written where no eyes can see.

When the last account is rendered,
Nothing stands unmeasured.

I walk where every locked door hides
A road no map has known.
The finest chains are never seen,
Yet bind us all the same.

No crown survives forever,
No promise leaves unchanged.
The cost of all we choose to keep
Is never washed away.

When the ink has turned to dust,
When the mirrors lose their names,
Only what was freely given
Remains beyond all claims.

Nothing disappears forever,
Nothing fades without a trace.
Every lifetime leaves a mark
Written where no eyes can see.

When the last account is rendered,
Nothing stands unmeasured...
