The Shadow Of The Clouds

Into the thickening gloom This hollow travel ends Inside the soil's womb I shall descend A dying flame A fire not meant to last Towards the distant stars it hastes Beyond the whelming dusk We say farewell, bereft of guidance We say farewell, stained The sound of thousand tortured voices exploding The wails of thousand wasted souls erased away Oh, my grieving child The hour is nigh to leave With tales of days benign To ease the pain within For if we sail onwards We'll face the darkest gale And if we stay the course We all shall meet our fate We say farewell, embraced by silence We say farewell, shamed The sound of thousand tortured voices exploding The wails of thousand wasted souls erased away No shelter in this world will offer solace Behold it sprout, the shadow The shadow of the clouds I long to greet the morning The scent of sodden earth I crave the tender breath of the dew Against my anguished face The sound of thousand tortured voices exploding The wails of thousand wasted souls erased away No shelter in this world will offer solace Behold it sprout, the shadow The shadow of the clouds
