See the time
That you saved throughout your life
Trapped and cold
Down in this place where it cannot thrive
Lay down gold
Get back coal
What you own
Now's yours no more
Their lies sound like the cure
But pied pipers lead these mice
Grey shades steal what is pure
And fade with nothing more than ice
So every moment you have lost
Every day you have not witnessed
Is now lying beyond a curtain
No glimpse can see through
Only patience and placidity
Will lead you across the smoke of burning time
While years have passed this fog will last forever
Unless you learn to wait for the tide
