Along the walls; in shadowed borders
Moving like a breeze through haunted atmospheres
Run the ghosts of abandoned dreams
Dreams we left behind
Like the dust that remains
Like the shadows descending down
Covering the past in darkness
Muted cries and echoed laughter
Banished dreams that never
Woke to the light of day
Blow by to reminds us
Of what we left behind
What we hope we may yet discover
What we lost in departed time
Empty walls, in a darkening room
Whisper memories lost in time
Words there to remind us
Of what was but never is
Telling us we are free
To define what will be done
Not what chains us down
Down the ancient corridors
Through the empty hollow halls
Through the gates of time
Run the ghosts of the past
That we left far behind us
Chains we released long ago
Setting us free to move on
