A New Reliance

Long ago
For a second we felt there was spring in our lives
Even time was slow
Winter came
And the ice did not melt nor the fortress would hold
We were razed to the ground

We held the secret
To our wildest bit of dreaming
In a safe we left it all, oblivion began

And now, all the signs inverted
Olden days deserted
We will have to find ourselves a new reliance
Right now, all the words are hidden
Senses gone, but
We will find a new beginning
We will find a new beginning here

We kept it in a sacred but
A silent and hidden room
Buried deep inside the waters
In a fiery bloom
Worn out of the endless gloom
We wanted and we earned it but you have it now
We were saving all these years what we needed now
We want it now – take it now
Let it loose – let it go
Before you lose it instead somehow

We held the secret
To our wildest bit of dreaming
In a safe we held it all, oblivion began

Once the shores of promise were awaiting
The sound of fortune rose and sorrow was abating
The road was an open space
We took a chance
To seize the run of life
Life

And now, all the signs inverted
Olden days deserted
We will have to find ourselves a new reliance
Right now, all the words are hidden
Senses gone but
We will find a new beginning
We will find a new beginning here
