Beneath the Moon's enchanted gaze Four shadows danced in twilight's maze Whispers called from the hollow tree A lullaby in a minor key The wind grew still, the ground did sigh A silver tear fell from the sky One by one, they slipped below Into a dream where no stars glow In the symphony of the lost children Notes dissolve where time has thinned Cradled deep in velvet silence They wander through the echoing wind Bound in light no eye can see Singing songs of what used to be They found a world of endless dusk Where clocks breathe dust and mirrors rust A realm of glass and feathered flame Where no one speaks their given name A carousel of shadowed grace Their laughter frozen in that place The trees remember every sound– Of tiny feet that left the ground In the symphony of the lost children Notes dissolve where time has thinned Cradled deep in velvet silence They wander through the echoing wind Bound in light no eye can see Singing songs of what used to be A ribbon floats in the crimson air A music box plays despair No footprints left in morning dew Just tales the starlight swears are true Echoes drift through the silver trees Humming ancient lullabies on the breeze Time sleeps beneath the willow's gaze While dreams dissolve in velvet haze Beneath the veil where shadows bloom They hum forgotten cradle tunes Fingers reach through fractured light Longing for the warmth of night In the symphony of the lost children Notes dissolve where time has thinned Cradled deep in velvet silence They wander through the echoing wind Bound in light no eye can see Singing songs of what used to be In the symphony of the lost children Hope is wrapped in porcelain skin Their voices hum through cracks of silence A haunting hymn from deep within Bound in dreams and mystery They live in notes, eternally If you hear them when you're sleeping Don't go near the willow weeping
