Sountrack:

Empty flows the time 
In the inner worlds, through wars and silences 
I wonder to myself, I wonder
How long will it take for all to burst into fire?

You are long lost to the silver lines,
And it’s not my fate to follow that now. 
Maybe ever? Maybe never? 

What you might never know, 
Might never have realised or even seen,
Is that my steps are long muted –
My face now older.
I have not abandoned you, my child:
But I must face the dragons alone.

And even though I know hardship comes my way,
And that time might be near or far,
I can’t listen to all words in the wind. 
I can’t ever know where the scars will come from, 
Even though I can understand some of the signs. 

I smell it in the storm, 
That comes to me. (into me?) 
It brings me fate and brings me hope, 
Sorrow and pain.
Tears in the rain. 

I’m much different now, my child. 
My dance has changed, and so my skin. 
The masks I choose have now evolved, 
And their voices scream inside. 
I have made a mistake, I have tried to drown them – 
Or at least, pretend I couldn’t listen.
And now they call upon me the feared dragon,
Hurt by my negligence, 
Pained by my flaws. 

But I still hear the music, 
I still seek it, and I still feel it. 
I shall not be taken.
My path goes on. 

I do miss you, my child. 
And I have shed countless tears,
For the lost words we shared,
Now gone and erased.
I do miss you.
And it pains me that you can hear the echoes.
