Lost souls

Beyond the blue skies
Many oceans beyond
Many times do pass
Many souls lost

Beyond the blue seas
Into the mist of darkness
Echoes of sad voices
They have fought wars
They have won victories
The torch of unity
No longer burns
The hearth is cold
Disaster and walking pestilence
Fills the land

Beyond the blue skies
Faintly gasping
For breath unfound
Creatures unknown
Living in a world
Oxygen do not know
Dim lit moon
Black stone
Waiting for that ball
That ball of fire
To kindle them
Once more
