Darkening Day

The hush of an empty mind. A leaf rustles. A landscape stark yet fertile. Thoughts come faster than the gathering clouds. CRASH! A release.

LYRICS

Darkening Day

Brown is the earth.
Gray is the sky.
Cold is the hearth,
Barren to the eye.
An empty landscape one can’t escape.
Such sweet sadness,
Such sweet decay,
An empty house on a Darkening Day.

Strong is the smell
Rising from the crop.
A wind tolling bell
Comes to a stop.
The heart’s the starkest
Awaiting the harvest.
Such sweet sadness,
Such sweet decay,
An empty house on a Darkening Day.

Shallow are the graves
That bury our past.
Long are the days
In lives gone so fast.
Surrender to time
And time is no more.
Such sweet sadness,
Such sweet decay,
An empty house on a Darkening Day.
