What Was Lost Lyrics

When the winds blow the sand

'Cross the dry, barren land

And uncover the secrets of past

All the wars we have fought

Devastation we've wrought

Is the lasting effect of our legacy

Though the sins of our fathers lay bare at our feet

We steel ourselves and raise our heads high

While the wisdom of others who so sorely entreat

Is eclipsed by our fervent desire

For old melodies are destined gone

As heroes come and go

And newer generations just move on

But if just a single song survives

Please let the lyrics say

Our magic wasn't lost- just misplaced

From this plane far beyond

We all still hear her song

A sweet whisper of our distant home

And while we can't return

Where our old hearts did burn

We still yearn for a way to find harmony

While we're haunted by shadows of the battles below

We wait for a spark of new light

To brighten up a wonderous world that sadly lost hope

And help all our people unite

For old melodies are destined gone

As heroes come and go

And newer generations just move on

But if just a single song survives

Please let the lyrics say

Our magic wasn't lost- just misplaced
