V. EFFLORESCENCE

Autumn's shadow: pass away,

there's no-one to listen.

Let the spirit find its way,

there's nothing to do now.

In this darkest of hours,

let the cold take your hand.

All the flowers will wither,

all be lost in the past.

Rise beyond,

remove the veil of this world.

Let your tears

run down your face once again.

Enslaved by blood,

your soul will turn to light.

The birds inside

will fly away.

Birds inside

will fly...

...into forever.

These tall trees,

these eyes devoid of cruelty

will now breathe

the air of new found sovereignty.

All will live

in absence of injurious hands;

time will come

to join them in the deepest sea.

The end of the cycle,

repeating evermore.

What lives, lives forever;

an essence without end.

Beyond earthly senses,

all life becomes deathless.

Here, at the end

of all that exists,

a song of grief is played

after your days.

Everything that's left

is the ash of time.

All the brightest stars

will fade to black.

VI. DIRGE FOR NAMELESS GRAVES

Now, when the fire is out,

consumed by the echoes

of long forgotten hurt.

All has come to end,

released from the boundaries

that kept your eyes awake.

Pain will be no more;

time will be no more.

Sail towards the endless,

walk into the cosmic ocean

where your fate awaits.

Sleep in silence,

wide and deep.

Seize oblivion,

blind and deaf.

Hark! The vast destruction,

loud and wondorous!

Doom impending,

gloom unending.

Days of despair.

Grant them eternal rest.
