Carpe Diem

The red sun dies
I close my eyes
The last light fades into the dark
Children play
She's lead astray
Like the lost fawn on unsteady legs

If time didn't run through my hands
If fate didn't take her from me
One moment could last forever
Cradled in one mortal heart

Shadows falling, Anubis calling
His howls are distant in the night

Maiden to crone
She walks alone
Her story is told within her eyes
Every innocent dove
Who dreams of love
Will fall prey to the dogs

If time didn't run through my hands
If fate didn't take her from me
One moment could last forever
Cradled in one mortal heart

Shadows falling, Anubis calling
His howls are distant in the night
Take this chance or die in silence
Carpe diem you will cry
