The Weight Never Changes

Those words
From a year gone by
Stood against the fire
That raged uncontrolled
And stood even stronger
When that fire died

Those words 
From a year gone by
Were born truer
Than any ancestor
Were more pure
Than any heir 

Those words 
From a year gone by
Still mean the same
One year later
Now unspoken
They weigh the same
