The Lay Of Autumn

I... I sing with a shattered voice
 I... I sing with a heavy heart
 I... I sing with a shattered voice
 I... I sing with a heavy heart
 ♪
 There in the deepest well of dreams
 Echoed a distant song
 I hearkened to the hallowed voice
 Stirred from ageless sleep
 Through this barren soil you came
 Sweet scent of spring
 Came and cast the earth in bloom
 Lent your light to me
 But now the summer's dreams are bent
 Like grain against the scythe
 Memories of blissful days, they fall like leaves
 For autumn's songs are made of loss
 Of yearning and regret
 In bitter tone they are recited
 Uttered with a heavy heart
 I... I sing with shattered voice
 A tale of marred souls
 I cry for consumed hearts
 And springs forever...
 Gone
 ♪
 I... I sing with a shattered voice
 I... I sing with a heavy heart
 The light of sun and stars will fade
 And moon covers its face
 All the tunes will quiet down
 And the songs shall die
 As this wretched heart unfolds
 Like mouth of furnace grins
 Inside there's but a blackened cell
 Full of filth and flames
 ♪
 I... I sing with shattered voice
 A tale of marred souls
 I cry for consumed hearts
 And springs forever gone
 I sing with shattered voice
 A tale of marred souls
 I cry for consumed hearts
 And springs forever gone

 There once was time
 When I resounded by your side
 There once was time
 When I trembled under your eyes
 What do I hear when you're gone?
 The wind's harrowing cry
 What do I hear when you're gone?
 The sighing of the languid grief
 Cold creeps in
 Silver crowns the land
 Long are the evenings now
 Grave the guilt's weight
 Stars shriek their emptiness in the darkling sky
 All the world is but a barrow shrouded in white
 What do I hear when you're gone?
