Luminous, intoxicating, the aurora of the sun Resplendent rays, cast a shadow, upon fading ruins A question of finality, and the ending of a dream Knowingly rests upon the tongue, of solitude and silence hewn
The resounding cry of failure, the Autumn air consumes Fading to a memory, the warmth of summer's fire A frozen epitaph will stand, buried amidst a mantle of snow The wind will sing an elegy, of triumph, defeat and tragedy
And so begins the fall A life departs this hollow shell An ember's smoke transcends the fire Released, ascending fate's design
A monument of sorrow To a life long imposed Ashen remains of immolation Fading into Winter's desolation
Fading, the ember dies Consumed, this life departs
