In "Remembrance," Crystal Eyes mourns a lost rock idol whose death leaves the world feeling drained of magic and direction. The grief is sharp, captured in the image of a melody lost in the wind and the painful question of how to sail forward when tomorrow is dark. Yet the song turns from sorrow to devotion, as the living keep the flame alive by singing the departed’s songs night after night. The guiding light that returns in the sky becomes a promise that the music and its spirit will never fade, burning forever in memory.
Remembrance Lyrics by Crystal Eyes
How could the wheel stop turning?
How could the rainbow fall?
Where are the dreamers now?
Where has the magic gone?
How can we sail on the oceans of time
When tomorrow is dark and the water
In the heart of the storm
You have left us alone
Like a melody lost in the wind
You gave your soul for rock and roll
You lived the dream, you let us fly
Night after night
We carry the flame
Singing your songs as we honor your name
Bright in the sky
Your light has returned
Guiding us all, in remembrance you burn
In empty rooms we are learning to live
As time marches on for the loner
But your legacy shines like a star in the night
And the voice in the dark still remains
You saved our souls with rock and roll
Made us believe you couldn’t die
Night after night
We carry the flame
Singing your songs as we honor your name
Bright in the sky
Your light has returned
Guiding us all, in remembrance you burn
A rebel born to rock and roll taught us to love and forget how to hate
The prince of the dark is flying high, but still the road to nowhere leads to you
Night after night
We carry the flame
Singing your songs as we honor your name
Bright in the sky
Your light has returned
Guiding us all, in remembrance you burn
Bright in the sky your light has returned, guiding us all, in remembrance you burn
Forever you burn
Forever you burn
Forever and ever you burn
