Memory fades, memory gone,
What sights once held, now withdrawn,
Memory fades, what once I'd known,
All the vistas overthrown.
From her streets, we turned our tread,
Even our own homes, we left for dead.
Memory fades, memory gone.
Far we wandered, foreign lands,
Forgetting kin, forgetting strands.
Palaces of mirrors, a dazzling snare,
Lost the homes of dust we used to share.
From her streets, we turned our tread,
Even our own homes, we left for dead.
Memory fades, memory gone.
When even you, your oaths forgot,
Your promises, a tangled knot,
And I, too, laid my dreams to rest,
Entwined within your eyes, unblessed.
From her streets, we turned our tread,
Even our own homes, we left for dead.
Memory fades, memory gone.
Those who murdered, let them be,
No need to tell them, not to see.
Beside my corpse, their dagger lies,
Forgotten, mirrored in my eyes.
From her streets, we turned our tread,
Even our own homes, we left for dead.
Memory fades, what once I'd known,
All the vistas overthrown.
From her streets, we turned our tread,
Even our own homes, we left for dead.
Memory fades, memory gone.
Memory fades, memory gone.
