Inner Ascension/Those Years Passed

from Hereafter by Forestfather

	/

lyrics

I've walked a lifetime for some
The early years blending into one bitter ascension
Relations come and go, but ours' set in stone
By our youthful games in the hidden grove

In time, the bond of two became the love of four
As children, we shared in hazy bliss
And with the weathering of decades
We become the shelter for one another

O, my dearest friend
I see the damage searing into your soul
The loss of your father, you could not understand
The loss of your mother, near too much to bear

But she, your love, will be here to guide you
As shall I, within the shadows of the past

How quickly those years have passed
An ascension which brought us to the highest peak
Gazing innocently at life, distorted perceived perfection
But after the climb comes the fall

The Fall, how fitting a name
When the leaves on the trees wither and blow away
The trees in our grove seem dead then
But that was when I found the key...

O, my dearest friend
I can see that the damage of a brief lifetime
Has left you buried in the dying leaves of autumn
The loss of your only love, it was too much to bear

Then there were only three...
