FOREVER LOST
(music: Lopakka & SENTENCED, words: Lopakka)
"EVERYMAN, I will go with thee and be thy guide
in thy most need to go by thy side"
(grave - home of the brave?)
fire...dance with me
for there's time for me and there's time for thee
desire ...rise, my friend
dance with me all the way
then descend
I wake up in the trench
and what a shitty world this is to wake up in...
our troops are only here and there
but the enemy is everywhere
will you be by me?
in the crimson moonlight
the battle is raging at its height
there...somewhere...I bleed and scream
take me over the stream - to my dream
if there's a heaven for the heathen
we'll gather our hearts in the kingdom of gods
and honour grows upon the graves of those
who were put through Hell in the line of fire
will you be by me?
(love remains)
fire...dance with me
when it's time to scream and when it's time to dream
higher...rise, my friend
dance with me all the way - to the end
lost in the Night Frost
forever lost
the night is still breathing
but I'll pass away, the Flame has ceased
as the others keep on hunting
I'm taken away by the silky breeze...
so if there's a heaven for the heathen
we'll gather our hearts in the kingdom of gods
and silence grows high where the soldiers lie
those who feared no evil (and those who did)
now set me on
fire...take me high
when it's time to fly and when it's time to die
higher...rise, my friend
dance with me all the way - to the end
lost in the Night Frost
forever lost
...to the end...(lyrics and music by James Seals, 1969)
From the albums SEALS AND CROFTS (1969) and SEALS AND CROFTS I AND II (1974).
I'll be here come winter when the cold winds blow.
We'll watch the geese together to see which way they go.
And I won't have to tell you, then I'm sure you'll know.
My love will be as plain as the ashes in the snow.
I'll be here beside you when the grass is gone.
I'Il be here when water is stilled upon the stone.
There'll be songs and stories, then I'm sure you'll know.
My love will be as plain as the ashes in the snow.
Ashes in the snow, ashes in the snow.
My love will be as plain as the ashes in the snow.
I'll be here to hold you when flowers are fast asleep.
When perfumes of the meadow no longer haunt the sheep.
My kiss will surely tell you I still love you so.
My love will be as plain as the ashes in the snow.
Ashes in the snow, ashes in the snow.
My love will be as plain as the ashes in the snow.
