All These Dark Years - Orden Ogan

I lost my heart on the eastern shore

To a whisper on the wind

And all that I knew was no more

Did I reach my journey’s end?

All alone here fire’s dying

Somewhere far away

Will I break and give up trying

Or burn another day?

I wasted half my life

But all I ever wanted

Was a clearer view of myself

I broke my back with all the things

That I considered

And now there’s nothing left of it

And the ashes of fathers

Now cover the track

In a land where fortune is borrowed

In these days where all luck

Is just leaving the sad

In the air just thoughts full of sorrow

Through all these dark years

Full of grief, pain and fears

We knew our fate is linked

'till we’re ashes in the wind

Another darkness, another repose

Is what I yield to thee

Don’t fear the veil nor my cold embrace

For it will set you free

And the ashes of fathers

Now cover the track

In a land where fortune is borrowed

In these days where all luck

Is just leaving the sad

In the air just thoughts full of sorrow

(Through all these dark years)

Through all these dark years

Full of grief, pain and fears

We knew our fate is linked

'till we’re ashes in the wind

Through all these dark years

Through all these dark years

Through all these dark years
