Danse Macabre Dust Of Centuries Lyrics

Dust Of Centuries Lyrics


"My life seems a constant quest for historical knowledge. I have travelled
the
continents in search for remains of ancient / medieval civilisations. My
eyes
finally witnessed the beauty I learned through historical works during
my
childhood. As far as I am concerned, true happiness can be achieved
while
dwelling through what is left of these empires buried by time and
dust. The
ultimate voyage unfortunately I will never experience : a travel
back in time.
Everyone is a child of his /her own time but still this does
not prevent me from
dreaming..."

Like a forgotten paradise
As if
refused by father time
My land can be found
Under a clouded grey
sky

Walking the eternal landscapes
As painted by our Flemish
masters
I hear the music
Created centuries ago

I listen to the
northwind
Losing myself in childlike dreams
Watch the eternal rivers
flow, they flow

Maybe they understand
My already lost
quest

For no one can travel
Travel back in time
For no one can
travel
Travel back in time
Like a forgotten paradise
A dream of
perfect bliss
Dust of centuries

Yet I can touch the cities
Build
by my forefathers

Yet I see the banners
Of long forgotten
pride
And watch the eternal rivers flow

Like a forgotten
paradise
As if refused by father time
My land can be found
Under a
clouded grey sky

Walking the eternal landscapes
As painted by our
masters
I hear the music
Created centuries ago

I want to see a
bright blue sky
Or feel the rain of our darkest clouds
Want to smell
flowers now long withered
Witness the people now long buried
Wish to
dwell in places forever lost
Castles buried by time time and dust
Hold a
bride so pale and pure
Hear the stories of friends
I never
knew

Lost in time
Lost in time

Yet I can touch the
cities
Build by my forefathers
Yet I see the banners
Of long forgotten
pride

Walking the eternal Landscapes
As painted by our masters
I
hear the music
Created centuries ago

Lost in time
