Desultory

Your time means nothing, a journey for the sun.
A change of wind and weather into a different kind.
Its like you never passed upon this golden plains.
Your life was just a flash, I wish Id remember
The morning breeze threw sand in my face
But I will meet the day with dignity.
I know the secrets buried in this place.
But I cant remember
I watched your father, I have seen them all.
Owe the treasures of our land, I have seen them fall
and now the screams have died into a distant world
a place of joy and pride I still cant remember
My limbs are carved in stone on the ground
Im gonna stay awake forever.
I know each move every single sound
but I cant remember
Ive seen the centuries slowly pass me by
They may have marked my being but by god Im still alive.
Days passed in dust of sand against the crimson horizon.
I feel the touch of our fathers hand, I wish Id remember
