Gallowbraid - Stone Of Remembrance lyrics

Sixty winters and six long past, Carved my path into the stones, Weathered lines familiar to my touch, I know them deep within my bones, I have stood here so many times before, tracing lines with aging hands, All that's left is desire for reclamation, Or the ability to forget Once more for the days long past Heads bowed for the one's we've lost I remember the breath of desolation Sighing through the battlefield with age came the heavy price of slaughter I traded innocence for steel Celtic steel! Seen in fragments, memories of the days When all was simple, all was clear When I was young the world was filled with wonder No sorrow, no hate or fear So as I lay my hand upon the stone I think of all those I've lost The lives I've stolen, the lives forever gone the cost of battles lost or won We will never reclaim Those gilded days of old But our fates are our own to weave No destiny No distant god Once more for the days long past Heads bowed for the one's we've lost I have reached the end Only my deeds live on
