Ancestral Legacy Enveloped
Here we are
Together in this darkness
Enveloped in the
Deepest shade of black
Connected through this misery
Lingering in the air
Lingering in the air
The burden of goodbye
A heavy ringing in my ear
It's a silent reminder
An afterthought of sorts
Bad dreams, hollow sleep
Of dark rooms, empty homes
And things without names
Memories of murder
The shades that fell
The shades that fell
I wouldn't prefer to answer
The question
The last quiet cord
To be severed
Nothing to take with you
Nothing left for you to keep
The music is over, there's no-one here
It's snowing heavily
I can't even see my breath escaping
Never to return
The burden of goodbye
A heavy ringing in my ear
It's a silent reminder
An afterthought of sorts
An afterthought of sorts
"I lingered around them,
Under that benign sky;
Watched the moths fluttering
Among the heath of harebells;
Listened to the soft wind
Breathing through the grass;
And wondered how anyone
Could ever imagine unquiet slumbers
For the sleepers in that quiet earth."
