Beneath the cover of night
The churchyard stirs a dream

Winter, a cold opus opposed
Against my snowbound hand

Denial, freezing
My tainted soul withers

Striking pain
From this life of agony

So sweet that which empowers
The soul when light draws low

Empty all that weep
Into the lake of sorrow

Beseeching in faith
Distant tunnel lights

Redemption, recovery
From this life of agony

I walk

I breathe every lovers final distressful words
And I see every dusk and dawn that they foretold
I walked an old path for the last time
Then blown away like candlelight
Forgotten like snow that had once enrobed a death

All life gone
