And the clouds cry
05:44
|

She was standing there
Beauty in its fullest
The mist around her
And a sound, so ruthless
Beneath the waterfall
She tried to fly
Carved in my mind
That night, she died
And the clouds cry
The clouds cry
A blanket covers me
Protecting from the rain
My breath is cold
But trembling from pain
Look at the sky
See the clouds cry
Over her grave
I vowed, I lied
I lied
And the clouds cry
The clouds cry
Yes, they cry
Through the dark gray
Tears from the sky
Let them whip
Let them cry
In silence

Dawn
Gray sky shedding tears
Faces of wood soak and bleed
And water the sleepless earth
A redemption for hatred deeds
Mother!
What have you done
To make our screams so muted?
A punishment, our torment
Our roots are now rotted
Decayed, septic
Whispers of the forest
So beautiful and cold
A never ending circle of death
At dusk we rise, at dawn we fall
Lament
In shadows you hide alone
A creeping voice between purple leaves
A cry for our dead brothers
The burden of our grief
Forest!
A god painted green and brown
A house for the living
And a graveyard for our dead
Those who perished, yet still breathing
Decayed, septic
And blood - made tears
Whispers of the forest
So beautiful and cold
A never ending circle of death
At dusk we rise, at dawn we fall
Decayed, septic

Dusk
05:39
|

And her body was warm
Where black clouds seemed to wade
And her rays were bleeding
In a faded shade of red
And she set beyond the mountains
Dusk, so blinding
And we dreamed eternally
Of her slow fading
Skies remained naked
Nights were abandoned
By the morning
Forests were left
In the dark
In the dark
And we watched her dying
So fragile, so dim
And we hid our children
So we can't hear their screams
And we drowned in self pity
For our end is so unfair
And we treasured the moments
Of love and despair
Skies remained naked
Nights were abandoned
By the morning
Forests were left
In the dark
In the dark

Empty room
08:34
|
|||
Pines standing under rain
Skies blackened, seas dry
Brave men led to their deaths
Dying children, mothers cry
Over empty graves they cry
And so, she stood alone
With his picture
In uniform
With his gun, and a smile
"I'm OK"
"Mom, I'm coming home"
It's the last thing he wrote
And the memories won't let her sleep
Alone
She is crying
And his room so empty
Behind tyranny of faith
Ghosts are pulling burning strings
Misleading young men into
Mundane chaos soaked with tears
Soaked with burning tears
And so, she stood alone
With his picture
In uniform
With his gun, and a smile
"I'm OK"
"Mom, I'm coming home"
It's the last thing he wrote
And the memories won't let her sleep
Alone
She is crying
And his room so empty

Forlorn, trapped inside a body
Full of warts and blisters
Lonely, crippled by infection
His skin is like no other
Half man, half tree
An outcast, a freak of nature
It is he who carries the virus
A leper, a victim of fate
Imprisoned by everlasting despair
Half man, half tree
A child of the forest
Doomed from birth
Embraces us with his branches
The son of mother earth
Flies feast upon his roots
Where endless pain seems to dwell
A shattered shadow of a man is fading
Like the withered leaf that fell

Autumn
07:09
|
|||
My veins are dried
Exhausted by sun's fury
My skin wither
Eroded by the chilling wind
The drops of rain
Sooth my cracked shell
As I fall to the earth
Soaked with sky's tears
For I am the leaf
My psithurism is mute
The sun is my shepherd
And the red autumn is my end
Every fallen brother
Have a place of burial
Beneath the mire
Among worms and weed
When times of mist draws nigh
I know my end is near
I confess my deeds
And embrace the stones
For I am so cold
My sorrow is blind
The branches are my home
And the ground is my grave

Scarred trees
04:55
|
|||
Stillborn
Never crawled on fertile soil
Lifeless
Blackened the bleeding womb
Infant
A soul to ritually coil
A coffin
Uncarpentered tomb
Mothers wear red
As the blood of the beast
Sacrificed at the alter
Of false gods' mist
Trees so colossal
So hollow, so ill
Scarred for our ritual
Yet rotting still
Bury us high
So the wind can waft our souls away
Bury our light
So the trees may drench our woes
Mourn for us
For we are no longer among the living
Mourn for us
Through your ritual of grief
Mothers wear red
As the blood of the beast
Sacrificed at the alter
Of false gods' mist

In her sullen reflection
09:23
|

In her sullen reflection
I saw a blindly drawn painting
Of lachrymose eyes
Overwhelming, enchanting
The lake was so dim
Tainted with sorrow
With eyes, so cold
Hopeless as tomorrow
Blinded by the frost
She longed for my warmth
And the mist covers my tomb
Chained by her grief
And undying despair
Her image, empty as her womb
In her sullen reflection
I stared for hours
Foreseeing the winters
And the death of red flowers
She began to fade
As slow and quiet
As the blackening clouds
And the withering violet
Blinded by the frost
She longed for my warmth
And the mist covers my tomb
Chained by her grief
And undying despair
Her image, empty as her womb
