The Crestfallen EP
Stately columns standing in solemn rows Such empty honours are suitable for those Whose death erases all renown and fame And vanquishes their glory with their name Wandering aimlessly through dead filled fields Rewards are just Who knows what absence yields? By the golden beauty of dusk And the sun low in our sky By the haunting shadows of trees And graves mesmerized am I Searching deep inside trying to reach my dreams I see a face stare back at me Oh so serene Those whispering shades Sad silent glades But not for those whose superior worth After death extols them to the earth I would even venture to assume That one need not build for them a tomb By human art, since glory heaven sent Serves them as a living monument Pain is a far away land Misery A lifetime's journey And I lust for death (judgement)

As a shadow is cast overhead I rejoice in the coming of the gloom Lifting my eyes to view what to me is beauty I decipher what is read in the cloud The verse is shouting out and ringing in my ears The claps of thunder scared? No me I revere In the enchantment of mother nature Her caress it soothes and brings me joy Kneeling in the rainfall Wind's whispers beckoning Inhaling the sweet scent Elation is overwhelming The way is dim but somehow I find it One by one the victims of life are dwindling Me take me grief no more if death will save me Take me save me show me salvation Lead me a sacred path reinstate creation Show me joy grief pride And show me your envy The way is dim but somehow I find it

Somniferous whisperings of scarlet fields Sleep calling me and my dreams are wondrous My reality is abandoned (I traverse afar) Not a care if I never wake

I cry a tear of hope but it is lost in helplessness The darkness eats away at the very embers of my soul For the deepest love I had has dissolved before my eyes My sorrow is bleak I beg for deliverance Lord in your mercy hear my prayer All emotion is consumed by an inner silence All grief is unassuaged by disconsulate tears I want for nothing I live for nothing I am waiting to die but I am afraid of dying Crestfallen emotion Wallowing in guilt And drowning for evermore Falling deeper into fear My inner self is now A sleeper of stone Help me

All tears restrained for years Their grief is confined Which destroys my mind An ode to their plight is this dirge Some yearn for lugubrious silence It is the serenity in the image of coffins Shall life renew these bodies of a truth? All death will he annul All tears assuage? Fill the void veins of life Again with youth And wash with an immortal water Age They die
