Ruins - Carved in Stone

Quiet ruins

Covered with snow

They keep the legends from ages long ago;

The stones are silent

But yet they talk

Their words are full of magic, so if you walk alone

Do not be frightened

And have no fear

There´s nothing there to hurt you, nobody´s near;

And if there are whisp´rings

Out of the snow

Then you are told a holy secret only you must know…

Quiet ruins

Covered with green

How long have they been standing, what have they seen?

They´re old and rotten

But full of might

Who would not be craving for knowing who lived inside

The walls, when they were standing

Strong, young and high?

Perhaps kings and queens were born here, or here they did die…

Nobody knows it

Only the grey wall;

It is the one and only witness who knows it all

Quiet ruins

Let them dream

And let them stand there in the sunlight´s golden stream;

Their days are over

So let them rest

And dream forgotten dreams in the grey shadows that they cast

When summer´s sun is shining;

And when it´s grey

Then let the old songs of the kings wash all your tears away

And keep your holy secret

Let noone know

And think about it when you see the ruins in the snow…
