Idle Stones
Life strays away from lamenting leaves Trees stand as ghosts of what they used to be Yet 'neath the wintery soil Their roots bide in rest out of sight, safely Holy skies bless the Earth with rain Resurrecting waters stream once again Face the ancient stones so cold They greet the Sun deriding times' defeat Yet concrete temples tower lifelessly Cast a fleeting shadow at their swaying feet Come the day that marks their defeat As woods gently reclaim the forlorn streets

Short moment of dark Shroud around us Starlight creates translucent figures They move through the misty air In the warm night of June Then disappear at sunrise The reflections of forgotten dreams They are so clear In search of their true essence and meaning We touch the halo that surrounds eternity As the Sun climbs higher You needn't be afraid No winds of autumn reach this land Love has found its place here It's in the core of everything If you stay beside me now We'll leave those trails of infinite sadness Put aside all your fears

We gaze through past Mourning for the times to come Wind blows from the desert Eyes are bleeding from the dust Rays from the setting Sun Are shattered in a blurry mirage Shaped by transcending tremolo Of cracking sanity Babies drop like bombs from the wombs Birth is a tragedy Saw it in a dream Emptiness was gathered As a token, an epitaph In the end it's all we have Bodies drop like bombs into the tombs Life is an open wound, thirsty soil beneath

The lady she sleeps: oh! may her sleep As it is lasting so be deep No icy worms about her creep I pray to God that she may lie For ever with as calm an eye That chamber chang'd for one more holy That bed for one more melancholy Far in the forest, dim and old For her may some tall vault unfold Against whose sounding door she hath thrown In childhood, many an idle stone Some tomb, which oft hath flung its back And vampire-winged panels back Flutt'ring triumphant o'er the palls Of her old family funerals
