Forgotten



Forgotten by the night
 Those who have lost
 Before they could love

 Forgotten be the happiness
 Upon which we thrive
 Destroying the bridges we built

 Forgotten friendship
 Not to steel and bullets
 But to the pen and word

 Forgotten by the night
 Love and grace omitted
 Happiness scarce

 Forgotten be the tyranny
 Lost to acceptance
 Destroyed be humanity

 Forgotten be the sadness
 By ethereal bliss
 Forever unkempt in ignorance

 Forgotten by the night
 The mists settle
 Blocking true sight

 Forgotten be the harmony
 Days of past destroy
 Days of future uncertain

 Forgotten forgiveness remains
 Those who seek it lost in the night
 Those who give it lost in thought

 Forgotten by the night
 Lost in thoughts
 Misplaced in time

 Forgotten be the end
 For all to see
 But none to hear

 Forgotten be the sadness
 Lost to the light
 Brought by the one

 Forgotten is everything
 When the one is found
 Hoist the heart of those it meets

 Forgotten by the darkness
 Light flourishes for all to see
 To end the darkness of the fallen heart

 Forgotten by the darkness
 The heart soars
 Saved by love
