Clouds, Clouds, Darkening All

The raven has eclipsed the sun
 Brewing storm covers the skies
 Despair goes from grey to black
 Horizon drowns in darkness
 As frothing waves rage and roar
 Mournful choirs whisper
 Flooded by sorrow I am ruined
 Pain in the eternity of passing
 Through grudging mist I ramble
 Bitterness and gloom have overcome me
 A single word that stabbed me hard
 Face whitened by its frosty gaze
 Forgotten shadows stretch their arms
 In a funeral conduct
 Sworn into silence, phantoms glide by
 Thrown on its back, the past has died
 Death whispered the only verse it knows
 And scattered everything
 He will remain
 Forever silent
 His mouth was shut before he tasted life
 A cruel hand snatched his time away
 Clock strikes stroke eleven in his hour
 He closed his eyes
 Before he saw the world
 Thick silence cradled him to sleep
 Everything gone in a moment
 Clouds, clouds, darkening all
