The Emperor's Ghost - King Raam, Ali Eskandarian

Take me back my sweetest friend

I will never let you go

There was a time when I was alone

Please don’t let me go

You sang me a lonesome song

In the cherry blossom field

The pedals of yesterday

Rain down on us still

The frozen lake oh how it dreams

Of a warmer sun

Atop the mountains we would sit

And read words of love

The fire in the lighthouse

Promises to burn

Return to me the clouds would say

In the sullen sky

Take me back to where the rivers run wild

Under the trees where the pheasants cry

In the meadows we would toss and turn

Where the relics and ruins were left to burn

Where the emperor’s ghost came regal and proud

And his crown was tilted to one side

And he sat on his snow covered throne and cried

And he wondered why

Oh how he wondered why…
