As I face northward
A heap of ash I see
Whose embers be blazing
O’er those golden dreams
Battered and broken
Those wretched things
For in them lies
A way to see
The path to hallowed immortality
But as the flames grow brighter
We grow dim
As we see our shine fading
But one thing we know not
That the flames don’t burn
Dreams of people who don’t do it in turn
