Ride On, Spirit

As he walked the barren fields
 And salted the earth
 The rain was an echo
 And all the seasons pale and sullen
 ♪
 In tears of sorrow and longing
 The wanderer falls
 Alone adrift in damming silence
 His blood is drawn
 He left us an opus
 For a thousand aeons to come
 In Runes of salted writing
 In Tears and blood
 Ride on, Spirit of Joy
 Although the land is dying
 And all the voices singing of hope are gone
 Fly on, Spirit of Joy
 And shine the daylight upon
 The heart of the new-born one
 Your Echoes Shall always
 Resound through our halls
 Your ghost in reverence
 Embrace to haunt me
 And his name shall never be known
 All his reasons forgotten
 And gone
 Like the wind that drowned his screams
 The salted earth alone
 It wept and drew his form
 Preserving his Essence
 A Stark reminder to all
 Ride on, Spirit of Joy
 Although the land is dying
 And all the voices singing of hope are gone
 Fly on, Spirit of Joy
 And shine the daylight upon
 The heart of the new-born one

 Ride on, Spirit of Joy
