Текст песни Lily of the Valley - Vold Book

I remember what she said
Before she left
"Take with you only what you can
Carry; the road ahead is narrow
Its ways are unforgiving
"This path may lead to an endless
Life, but our timing will always
Have been so curious
"It is unclear if we will survive
To see the new world, or if we shall
Meet our demise before the event
"How ironic: those who hold
Everything can take nothing
With them in the end
"And those yet-to-be, often
With so very little, inherit the
World for all time to come."
So I go along my own way
Few possessions on my back
Her moonlight, my only guide

Walking out, she did not turn
To say goodbye
I caught the golden sun upon her
Hair, and for a moment wondered
If anything could have been different
But I knew that her time had come
I upheld a facade of strength
And wished her well
Cold air rushed inside
With a frenzy

Standing there, all alone
I thought back to how it all began
A rendezvous of happenstance
Our fates, so intertwined
Drifting by the days
Closer to each other
Two leaves of the same tree
Grown together; fallen separately
And laying side by side
How long could we sustain
This position? Twelve years only
Before the wind tore us apart
But that time, so short and blessed
Was the best I'd ever known
Life has its own trajectory
And there are some things
That cannot be overcome
We parted ways, but our
Mission stayed the same
We fought for the future
Together and alone; and
Forward we shall go
Onward to the great revelation
Listening to the ocean's rhythmic tide

Within an hourglass, all things
Wither and decay, but don't let
This stop you from remarking
On subtle beauties
The transient nature of everything
That blooms sustains appreciation
For when you know that it's
Not going to last, you are
Free to immerse yourself
Whole-heartedly
Within the boundless majesty
Of mysteries and wonder
That we are here at all
To take in what we can
Is the most glorious thing
And those who live in Versailles, despite
Their claims to every endless treasure
Cannot establish their reference
Point, to base satisfaction on

Long live the stasis revolution
Victory to those who are emblazoned
May their banners be evermore
Vibrant, with threads of hope
Spun from innocent dreams
I will take her with me, as I
Come to join the march
You cannot see her
But she is there
Standing tall with wings of light
Steadfast resolve, and powers
Of discernment
To judge the winds of change
And face the ever-shifting duty
On our road so dark and narrow
Carrying only what she can
Upon her back
I endorse the noble quest
Among the stars, and give back
Everything that I am given
Until at last my bones come
Clean beneath the grave oak
Or support my flesh inside
Wildest horizon
For in the end, it's all the same
Cycles of becoming, without
Conclusion; cycles of rain and
Moon, and birth and sleep
Passive soils underneath
Cradling the expectations of
A sudden wanderer, sailing
Across the years

Come inside and gather memories
Share the virtues of experience
And drink with your guild
The hardships we've all known
Are coming due, with
Everlasting sustenance
Place your care in the ways
That you know, and
Cherish everything
