A Secret Untold
Through oceans of time and the dark of the night
I walk through the ages and ponder my plight
I can tell you of things, of times long since past
And I’ll sing of a love that I knew could not last
In the midst of the shadows my dream never ends
For it comes from a place where time never bends
A journey of love that has no end in sight
And the secret I hold with all of my might
I look in the distance on a hill far away
In my mind I can see her, she is begging to stay
With tears in her eyes she professes her love
She has the face of an angel and the voice of a dove
But this is a path that my fate won’t allow
For our love has been secret, at least until now
I kiss her and hold her while she’s asking me why
I am sorry my darling for it’s my time to die
Much to my sorrow, my fate had been laid
And it seems far too much, the price I have paid
My friend from the east has called it my gift
To me it’s a curse, my soul is adrift
My vision is torment, it’s sadness and pain
And I hope that my search has not been in vain
There is always a hope that maybe one day
Once again I’ll find her on that hill far away
Drifting through time without leaving a wake
With every tear that will fall and every friend that I make
I search for the eyes, when they meet we will know
It has finally ended and it's our time to go
So many times I try and I fail
Thinking I’ve found it and have now crossed the vale
Only to find that my heart told me wrong
And deep in my heart I sing the sad song
But a coward dies many before they are done
And as we all know, the brave dies but one
I have lived from within and died by the sword
And stood in the face of a vast mighty horde
Still the long ages will not let me sleep
And give me the peace that all of us seek
So where it began on that far distant hill
A secret flame burns so bright and so still
The secret you see lies deep in the past
The crime was committed and my die was cast
If I could tell you a secret, a secret of old
A secret so tragic that no one’s been told
You would then understand and realize in time
That this tale must end and the story is mine.
