Ancient place, distant time, it feels so familiar
A marble hall, I sense I've been here before
Is it a dream I had long ago?
A dream...
I stand all alone now, no one
Comes to walk by my side
But where am I
As I walk through the night
So clear?
Ancient place I'm in, it seems not long gone
Distant time, I feel I've been here before
A vision thought forgotten
Of a time long ago
Marble hall, where I spent
Those long lonely years
Was it real? The cold,
The pain and the tears?
This hidden palace where I
Wait on my own?
A basalt maze and granite bars
To hold me down beneath the stars
A wondrous place, a gilded cage
'Gainst the barricade I rage.
Someday I'll be free
As the breezes
Someday, I will be there
Standing there by your side
Your side...
Am I here and trapped by my destiny?
Am I there and lost in my memory?
Was it a dream in memory's guise?
Did I escape to azure skies?
Was I ever stuck within that world
With nobody to hear me?
All alone in that hidden place
With nobody to hold me.

The poem above is an idea I had for lyrics to Forbidden Memory (of a Forgotten Dream), an absolutely awesome orchestral remix of the background music for an unfinished level in Sonic the Hedgehog 2. I know it's kind of classical style and doesn't really need words, but it's been stuck in my head and I couldn't resist trying.

Uh, quick question: any particular marble hall bit that you like, or just the fact that it's mentioned at least once? I get the feeling I may have gone a little overboard on repitition here...

I like how you provided the music and even the times when the stanzas/verses should be started.
I find it's easier writing lyrics to music, but sometimes it turns out a little dry without the music in the end. But you've done a good job.

I really wish I could hear the lyrics preformed with the song.. I don't think my voice would do it justice.
Also, though I can't make any promises, I might be able to record a half-decent rendition. Unfortunately I don't have a decent microphone at the moment, but if I'm ever ready to try this, you'll be the first to know.
