White

passing clouds
cast a white veil
on faded memories

Lonely

a lonely wind
nothing moves
except the clouds

Downfall

A battle well fought
valiant stones reach for the sky,
yet crumble to dust

Secrets

Among the ruins,
stories linger
The ones we know,
and secrets, too
Warrior stones,
fight against time
Bandaged with moss,
chivalrous knights
Guards to a house
held up by faith
Within these walls,
the chorus sings
