Once in halls of towering grace lanterns lit with golden haze
Now the swallows rise and fall gliding past the old remains
Time repaints the world anew yet none can hold its fleeting hand
Rivers never trace their past moss still grows where footprints land
No need to chase no need to mourn the years will weave their tale
See the moss so still so free through dusk and dawn unveiled
No need for fame no fight for name the rain will write our song
A life well lived a path well walked like moss where stones belong
Palace gates and fleeting dreams splendor fades to silent dust
Who once laughed with wine in hand Who now sings of what once was
Grand estates will change their keepers echoes lost in times embrace
Why ask what the night may bring Just watch the clouds drift on their way
Morning dew will paint new greens stars will shift as nights unwind
Every sorrow every joy fades like moss on stones entwined
Old dreams vanish tales remain the bridge still stands the moss remains
