about

There are times in our lives, if we are fortunate, when we have experiences that connect us to the distant past. Visiting ruins of ancient cities or natural wonders molded by time can make us realize the brevity of our lives. It can also connect us to generations that came before.

lyrics

Turquoise sea
Patient breeze
A deep blue sky
Ancient walls
Do recall
Our days passed by.

Take my hand
Let's both stand
Where ghosts speak rhymes
Tales of love
And stories of
Lives lost in time.

Walking through Carthage
Whispers and echoes in my mind.
Footsteps in Carthage
Leaving impressions
Fading
Swept away by winds in time.

As you led
To the edge
Fell to my knees
Time worn walls
Chasm calls
To capture me
Threatening to capture me.
