Rhymes Of Man

Rayless, and pathless, and the icy earth
Swung blind and blackening in the moonless air
Morn came and went and came, and brought me no day
And men forgot their passions in the dread
Of their desolation
To free the hollow heart from paining
They stood aloof, the scars remaining
Like cliffs which had been rent asunder
But neither heat nor frost nor thunder
And life is thorny, and youth is vain
Work like madness in the brain
And if forever, even though, never
Silence of that dreamless sleep
I envy now too much to weep
For deliverance for the pride once I had
God, I pleased you, but everything has just turned to sand
Hear that the voices begging inside of my head
God forgive me if true faith doesn't lie within my heart
Shivering scrap'd with their cold skeleton hands
The feeble ashes, and their feeble breath
Blew for a little life
Mad disquietude on the dull sky
The pall of a past world, and then again
With curses cast them down
Upon the dust
To free the hollow heart from paining
They stood aloof, the scars remaining
Like cliffs which had been rent asunder
But neither heat nor frost nor thunder
And life is thorny, and youth is vain
Work like madness in the brain
And if for ever, even though, never
Silence of that dreamless sleep
I envy now too much to weep
For deliverance for the pride once I had
God I pleased you but everything has just turned to sand
Hear that the voices begging inside of my head
God forgive me if true faith doesn't lie within my heart
As aught of mortal birth, too soon return'd to earth!
So I behold them not: Like common earth can rot
Must fall the earliest prey, the leaves must drop away
Though thou hast left me free than thus remember thee
The love where death has set his seal, nor age can chill, nor rival steal
To see thy beauties fade, had worn a deeper shade
For deliverance for the pride once I had
God, I pleased you, but everything has turned to sand
Hear that the voices begging inside of my head
God forgive me if true faith doesn't lie within my heart
