Memory Replaced

From the garden, hear the clinging of the chimes

The last tomatoes, hanging shriveled on the vine

This autumn breeze is just a promise of the freeze, that's coming soon

The seasons fleeting, the days are blurring into years

The lines retreating, as every moment disappears

The stories end to leave another to begin to start anew

And in a thousand years, when all our bones have disappeared

And every word has been erased

Still the rivers flow, the Sun will glow, the seeds will grow

The wind will come and blow it all away

Cuz we are just a memory replaced

All the deadlines, have come and gone without a sound

The saddest headlines, are now just pigments in the ground

The battles fought, the lessons taught, they all are lost now in the end

And every secret, you ever guarded with your life

The stars will keep it, if all the photons should arrive

We're just a speck in time and space, just a fleck upon its face

And in a thousand years, when all our bones have disappeared

And every word has been erased

Still the rivers flow, the Sun will glow, the seeds will grow

The wind will come and blow it all away

Cuz we are just a memory replaced

Free yourself, release yourself

The burdens that you carry all will topple in the end

Every bad decision that was weighing on your mind

And every failed mission, every ladder left unclimbed

It all just blows away

And in a thousand years, when all our bones have disappeared

And every word has been erased

Still the rivers flow, the Sun will glow, the seeds will grow

The wind will come and blow it all away

Through the centuries, the endless string of memories

And through the progress and the waste

Still the rivers flow, the Sun will glow, the seeds will grow

The wind will come and blow it all away

Cuz we are just a memory replaced
