The Wound

You left me for the morning, toward a setting sun
Away from all I've given, into a past undone
And you have left your wisdom in the overwhelming sea
To seek out fear and hatred, and so abandon me
So another end is coming, so a new beginning fades away

You sought the glorious sunrise, but feared the rising moon
In Hell's embrace and Heaven's comfort, you found the truth too soon
And now you move to cast the well of wisdom far from sight
To silence all your temples and step into the night

We have worked so hard to build a kingdom in the light
To rise above and conquer death and life
But in the end we only found that we had lost the way
Bequeathed to us in the beginning we have turned away
In destruction that we forged, forever shall we stay

Fading in the wind
The autumn leaves fall slowly down in the end

Feel again
A change of seasons heeds the call from deep within
Find a way
To call the winter and begin the path toward a newer day

A plague has swept upon a land that once was green
A sickness grows inside our mystic heart unseen
Oh let the winter heal the wound from which we came
Oh let it never be the same

And in the hours of darkness our thoughts will fade away
The seas run dry, the mountains crumble, the forests fade to grey
And now that you have cast the well of wisdom from the land
We do not know the father, this was the greater plan

Wise and weary free or fools our path has reached the end
We'll never know the wonders heaven sent
When all the kingdoms fall into the fear that they have sown
A wasted dream will shine it seems from all that we have known
I bid you now a fond farewell, it seems the end has come

A plague has swept upon a land that once was green
A sickness grows inside our mystic heart unseen
Oh let the wicked come to lead us from our home
Forever ruins we will sow
