A day in the forest
The trees they hang like souls
Dripping from the dead
And coldness lingers on
Her breath lingered in the air
And then it was no more
I can't see where I'm going
I don't know where I came from
The trees are dead
Death in the soil
Their roots suck the nectar
Of bereavement
Soothing colors fade to the night
Fading, drifting nowhere in the night
Midnight fading
Moonlight waning now
And so you left me
My body was numb
My soul was lost without you
Waiting 'neath the frozen trees
Yet fate would as it seems
Weave a solemn tale
When I opened my eyes
Fate had left me with nothing
Soothing colors fade to the night
Fading, drifting nowhere in the night
Midnight fading
Moonlight waning now
In the cold I wait for you
Waiting with the trees
The call of winter
Fading from my grasp
The air was cold and dark
The night that I lost you
In this night she fought
A shred of doubt
And in the night I thought
I saw you rot
But hope would find me yet
A silver thread
And in this night I saw
My love wearing black
