The Lyrics of this song were derived and modified from the public domain writings of Joseph Conrad
lyrics
I remember my youth
The feeling that I could last forever
Outlast the sea
Outlast the earth
A moment of strength and romance
The glow in the heart that with every year grows dark too soon
Faith is a myth. Beliefs shift like mist on the shore
Thoughts vanish and words die
The memories of yesterday
are as dim as the hopes for tomorrow
Suffering without the shadow of a reason
The Years Thunder By
The Years Thunder By
Oh the glamour of youth
more dazzling than the flames of a burning ship
A magic light
Leaping bravely to the sky
Only to be quenched by time
more cruel more bitter than the sea
A Life passes in the twinkling of an eye
Nothing remains 'cept a clod of mud
Love and regret walk hand in hand
In this world of changes
Swifter than the shifting of the clouds
Reflected in the mirror of the sea
The feeling that I could last forever
Outlast the sea
Outlast the earth
A moment of strength and romance
The glow in the heart that with every year grows dark too soon
Faith is a myth. Beliefs shift like mist on the shore
Thoughts vanish and words die
The memories of yesterday
are as dim as the hopes for tomorrow
Suffering without the shadow of a reason
The Years Thunder By
The Years Thunder By
Oh the glamour of youth
more dazzling than the flames of a burning ship
A magic light
Leaping bravely to the sky
Only to be quenched by time
more cruel more bitter than the sea
A Life passes in the twinkling of an eye
Nothing remains 'cept a clod of mud
Love and regret walk hand in hand
In this world of changes
Swifter than the shifting of the clouds
Reflected in the mirror of the sea
