about

This song is about the memories that remain after loved ones have passed beyond this mortal coil, and the strength they continue to give us even when they're gone. Dedicated to Carlos Denogean, Kathy Darden, Steve Kelly, and Terry Millard. We love you.

lyrics

Beyond the world that we can see with our own eyes
Searching for something barely felt and hardly known
I feel you stand beside me even though you're gone
Fleeting figures in the mist
The black wind's lonely moans

Even though our foes threaten to take us down
Now our forebears have gone on
The strength we learned will see us surely through again
The body goes
But the power
Will always remain

Silent circle, bound by loss
We persevere together
We keep the flames a-burnin
Silent circle, ride beyond
We must overcome
Our swords gleam ever brighter

Silent circle
We ride beyond
Oh yeah

Solo: Darden
Solo: Millard

Silent circle, bound by loss
We persevere together
We keep the flames a-burnin
Silent circle, ride beyond
We must overcome
Our swords gleam ever brighter
Silent circle, we won't forget
Standing for each other
Fighting for our brothers
Silent circle, ride beyond
We must overcome
Our swords gleam ever brighter
