Withering Leaves

By From Ashes

On As the Leaves Fall

Withering leaves, withering trees

Tell me that autumn is here

Withering joy, withering life

Tell me that death is here

Colors changing from gray to black to gray again

Emotions changing along them

Little candles lit there and there

Extinguished by the neverending rain

Remembrance...

Candles burnt out

I travel to live those moments again

I travel, just to find the smoking ruins

In the midst of falling rain

When no bird sang

In my depression I kneeled down and prayed

For human shall never be immortal

I set my eyes to the sky above

Hoping to see even a reflection of the light divine

Eternal sorrow and despair on my mind

Forgotten sunrises of yesterdays...

Eternally caught in my cursed mind

Soul wounded looking for life...

It has been months since the last time I cried

Dressing my sorrow in black, hiding my tears...

Amid of all sorrow and rain

Just one phrase came unto my lips

After gray had changed to black again

The same phrase still haunted me

"Hallowed be Thy name"

What else can I say?

For that is the only thing

That keeps a depressed heart alive

Oh, lift the stone heart from my chest

Save me, spare me, please!
