Emerald Shine - A Lake Far Away

There`s a lake far away
When the night meets the day
A pair of great red eyes opens
At the touch of the Sun
With belief and with hope
He awakes every morn
But soon his sadness takes over
Then one more tear falls down

Far away over the Rainbow Hills they flew
Silhouettes against the bright Moon
To find a new homeland where no people dwell
Having by men been chased away

From an egg left behind
That had never been found
In the cave`s darkest corner
Their youngest hatched out
With his just opened eyes
He watched his relatives fly
He tried to follow the swarm
But was not strong enough

Time runs, decades pass by
Seem like centuries to the lonely ones
The last of his kind still watches the sky
Knowing that his hope dies last

All alone in his cave
The young dragon remained
Trusting soon they’d return
To their land, now dead and black
But years went on, then one day
Gloomy doubts crept to stay
And the question appeared
Will they ever come back

Far away over the lands of Siwer cold
They`d flown to find a new home
Had they found? Had they died? How could he know at all
His first tear of loneliness was shed that morn

There`s a lake in the north
It has spread a lot thenceforth
And still it`s growing, still extending
More and more, on and on
The water is salt, unbelievably cold
And into the lake every morning
One more teardrop falls

Time runs, decades pass by
Seem like centuries to the lonely ones
The last of his kind still watches the sky
Knowing that his hope dies last

Far away over the lake of tears that he cries
Never will he dare to fly
For fear rules his mind and fear holds his wings
Of losing hope, the only thing
That remains

The last of his kind forever watches the sky
Knowing that his hope never dies
