They Die / Crestfallen
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

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
