Time forgotten - Original Lyrics (mystapplied@gmail.com)
Time lost, forever lost,
A moment stolen, never returned,
Forever gone, never again to appear-
Not ever.
Moments lost, never uncovered,
Whether anger or bliss, it fades.
No one endures, not even dark spells,
Nothing endures, no matter the plea,
Cast forever as unknown, unseen.
How can one reclaim the past?
Who can grasp what will last?
From emptiness, the light began,
Yet all power slipped from our hands.
Who will ever understand?
We arise from Nothing,
On a blank canvas, lives displayed,
Not parent, not family,
Not a smile toward a child.
Nothing is our source,
No words, no songs, no messages,
Only silence joins our emptiness.
We prove our lives, with a sense of "I,"
But do we truly know,
That we are this, or that?
Our life, a fragile moment displayed-
Is emptiness more certain?
We celebrate Now,
Only to be forgotten,
No one to remember,
Our lives, our hopes-everything,
Dreams that eternally fade.
No record, no clue
That we once were,
Our laughter echoes like a distant song,
Yet who remembers when we’re gone?
To Nothing, we return,
No one remembers our dust from stars,
Nothing to discuss.
From Silence we came,
To Silence we return,
Our parents, Nothing and Silence-
Who abandon us from the start,
Without love, without heart.
Awareness, so true,
A trick played on us,
Mindlessness follows,
Never again to find
That we were here,
Our existence, a fleeting trace,
From Nothing,
To Nothing, we return.
Even so, I cherish my 'nows'
And celebrate what I remember
I will laugh and smile
Even if I'm forgotten
