Beyond The Clouds

Moving forward at any cost
Never forgetting what you lost
Putting ever increasing distance
Between the revenge seeking man you are
And the innocent child you once were

His life slipped away
At the hands of the one you now hate
The flightless prince, fallen from grace
Lost his noble rank long ago
And his life was soon to follow

You swore the rest of your days
Would be dedicated to the fruitless pursuit of revenge
You don't care if your road leads to dawn or dusk
But no matter how far you move forward
You'll never move on

You blindly dive into the future
Though you still cling to the past
Always remembering
His look of agony you saw last

The days keep on dying
Distance is the only truth
No matter how you pray,
Regardless of what you say,
Your words will never reach him

Lost forever, beyond the clouds
Somewhere in the eternally dark sky
Too far away to find even a shadow
Too far gone to ever see again
Where neither thoughts or words can reach

Moving forward without moving on
Marching into the future with the past in your heart
You allow all the grieving from days long gone
To shadow you where you are now

Nothing but malice is reflected
In your shadowed silver eyes

Death silenced the voice you knew
Closed the eyes you always looked up to
Erased the shadow you could always follow,
Trusting he would never lead you stray

No other alliance is quite so strong
Promises and vows can be broken
And the very best of liars
Never let their eyes betray their deceit

You justify your sins
In the name of passing judgment
Upon the one you know
As the greatest sinner of all

In your heart,
The cold, unchanging place
Where your regrets are left to decay,
You know he wouldn't approve
Of everything you have done
To avenge his disgraced name

But you still can't let go
Of those final sorrowful moments
Letting them decide your every step
To keep the promise you made on his grave
