I sing with a shattered voice I sing with a heavy heart
I sing with a shattered voice I sing with a heavy heart
There in the deepest well of dreams Echoed a distant song I hearkened to the hallowed voice Stirred from ageless sleep
Through this barren soil you came Sweet scent of spring Came and cast the earth in bloom Lent your light to me
But now the summer's dreams are bent Like grains against the scythe And memories of blissful days They fall like leaves
For autumn's songs are made of loss Of yearning and regret In bitter tone they are recited Uttered with a heavy heart
I sing with a shattered voice A tale made of marred souls I cry for consumed hearts And springs forever gone
I sing with a shattered voice I sing with a heavy heart
The light of sun and stars will fade And moon covers its face All the tunes will quiet down And the songs shall die
As this wretched heart unfolds Like mouth of furnace grins Inside there's but a blackened cell Full of filth and flames
I sing with a shattered voice A tale made of marred souls I cry for consumed hearts And springs forever gone
I sing with a shattered voice A tale made of marred souls I cry for consumed hearts And springs forever gone
There once was time when I resounded by your side There once was time when I trembled under your eyes
What do I hear when you're gone? The wind's harrowing cry What do I hear when you're gone? The sighing of the languid grief Cold creeps in, silver crowns the land Long are the evenings now, grave the guilt's weight Stars shriek their emptiness in the darkling sky All the world is but a barrow shrouded in white
