The Library

Lyrics : [Verse 1] Beyond the edge where starlight dies A silent hall forever lies Its endless shelves embrace the night Each book once held a world's last light [Verse 2] The Keeper walks with lantern flame Reciting every vanished name His weary hands still guard the key To all that was... and used to be [Chorus] Welcome to The Library Where every page remembers me Kingdoms rise and kingdoms fall Yet memory outlives them all When every star has lost its fire Only stories climb still higher [Verse 3] One fragile page begins to burn A thousand galaxies won't return Each fading word, each dying line Erases footprints left by time [Verse 4] The final candle flickers low Outside, no living winds still blow Yet one last voice refuses sleep To guard the dreams the books still keep [Chorus] Welcome to The Library Where every page remembers me Kingdoms rise and kingdoms fall Yet memory outlives them all When every star has lost its fire Only stories climb still higher [Bridge] If every soul becomes a tale Then none are truly doomed to fail As long as one voice reads aloud No silence wears eternity's shroud But flames consume what time forgets The ink dissolves, the dust has wept Still I will turn another page The final keeper of this age [Final Chorus] Welcome to The Library Where every page still breathes in me Empires fade like morning rain But every story leaves its flame Though the universe turns to dust Words endure beyond our trust Close the book—but don't believe The Library will never leave
