A Lake Far Away

There`s a lake far away When the night meets the day A pair of great red eyes opens At the touch of the Sun With belief and with hope He awakes every morn But soon his sadness takes over Then one more tear falls down Far away over the Rainbow Hills they flew Silhouettes against the bright Moon To find a new homeland where no people dwell Having by men been chased away From an egg left behind That had never been found In the cave`s darkest corner Their youngest hatched out With his just opened eyes He watched his relatives fly He tried to follow the swarm But was not strong enough Time runs, decades pass by Seem like centuries to the lonely ones The last of his kind still watches the sky Knowing that his hope dies last All alone in his cave The young dragon remained Trusting soon they'd return To their land, now dead and black But years went on, then one day Gloomy doubts crept to stay And the question appeared Will they ever come back Far away over the lands of Siwer cold They`d flown to find a new home Had they found? Had they died? How could he know at all His first tear of loneliness was shed that morn There`s a lake in the north It has spread a lot thenceforth And still it`s growing, still extending More and more, on and on The water is salt, unbelievably cold And into the lake every morning One more teardrop falls Time runs, decades pass by Seem like centuries to the lonely ones The last of his kind still watches the sky Knowing that his hope dies last Far away over the lake of tears that he cries Never will he dare to fly For fear rules his mind and fear holds his wings Of losing hope, the only thing That remains The last of his kind forever watches the sky Knowing that his hope never dies
