The Nostalgics



Come with me and have no fear,
To a place where dreams appear.
Hold my hand, don't let it go,
Through the shadows, we'll flow.

The castle's gate will soon unbar,
A haunting tale from lands afar.
They speak of a star's ghostly glow,
Within these walls, these stories grow.

Once this castle was a sphere,
Called Earth, in a distant year.
Basking in Aphrodite's grace,
So gods envied its embrace.

Legends say the star was love
Felt by mortals in their secret cove.
Always hidden and destined lost,
Somewhere in the heavens, tossed.

And the starlight, ethereal trails,
Guided Nostalgics on the Rails,
To the scattered, full love shards,
to be returned in mortals' hearts.

And this world existed fine
As Nostalgics heavens reigned
No others, only they alone
knew that life is love-prone.
