The Lay of Autumn

I... I sing with a shattered voice
I... I sing with a heavy heart
I... I sing with a shattered voice
I... I sing with a heavy heart

There in the deepest well of dreams
Echoed a distant song
I hearkened to the hallowed voice
Stirred from ageless sleep
Through this barren soil you came
Sweet scent of spring
Came and cast the earth in bloom
Lent your light to me

But now the summer's dreams are bent
Like grain against the scythe
Memories of blissful days, they fall like leaves
For autumn's songs are made of loss
Of yearning and regret
In bitter tone they are recited
Uttered with a heavy heart

I... I sing with shattered voice
A tale of marred souls
I cry for consumed hearts
And springs forever...
Gone

I... I sing with a shattered voice
I... I sing with a heavy heart

The light of sun and stars will fade
And moon covers its face
All the tunes will quiet down
And the songs shall die
As this wretched heart unfolds
Like mouth of furnace grins
Inside there's but a blackened cell
Full of filth and flames

I... I sing with shattered voice
A tale of marred souls
I cry for consumed hearts
And springs forever gone
I sing with shattered voice
A tale of marred souls
I cry for consumed hearts
And springs forever gone

There once was time
When I resounded by your side
There once was time
When I trembled under your eyes

What do I hear when you're gone?
The wind's harrowing cry
What do I hear when you're gone?
The sighing of the languid grief
Cold creeps in
Silver crowns the land
Long are the evenings now
Grave the guilt's weight
Stars shriek their emptiness in the darkling sky
All the world is but a barrow shrouded in white

What do I hear when you're gone?
