Ypres Lyrics - Ancient Rites

On this site of reflection, you came to me as a ghost 

Near this monument of the fallen, where one hears the sad last post 

 

Celebration in the city of Ypres, again a new year was born 

Not on this place of eternal silence, where quietly souls mourn 

For time did not matter on this site, of the graveless dead 

Near the leafless trees, we somehow met 

 

On this site of reflection, you came to me as a ghost 

Near this monument of the fallen, where one hears the sad last post 

 

Born in different times, we never knew each other, 

Born in different times, we never even met 

But on this night when the world celebrates, believe met: 

But on this night when the world celebrates, I regret your dead 

 

On this site of reflection, you came to me as a ghost 

Near this monument of the fallen, where one hears the sad last post 

Thousands of names engraved, poor souls fate did not spare 

The night was cold, the wind unkind, still wondering what brought me there 

 

Born in different times, we never even met 

But on this night when the world celebrates believe me: I regret your dead 

 

Tragic appearance, your uniform torn, your skin full of dirt 

We did not speak, nor laugh or cry, did not utter a single word 

 

We kept an honourable distance, borders of time cannot be crossed 

As ther is between the living, who hold on to live at any cost 

And the dead, whose lifes and dreams along with their bodies lost 

Here you appear, probably a trick of the mind that I might have lost
