Cascades

Shadows cast where he eternal lies

Cascades of rain falling from the skies

You hide behind your shadowy veil

Desolation's call not far away

The bleak call of winter fills your thoughts

These summer days now at an end

This pain eats away, poison in my soul

Through the heart, burning back, right through my veins

Try to escape, try to fail, there's no where to hide

Stand alone, lose your mind, surrender of your grace

A lament to last for the rest of your days

this barely noticed of tragic tales

All alone in the desert of winter, reborn, riven from the grave

Darkness rising over the sun, disseminate into the grey

You suffer for want of virtue, virtues you could never uphold

Your legacy in ruin displayed for all to see

Your tears fall like the autumn leaves

Your destiny or so it seems?

Be still in time you'll understand

Wake up from the dream you think you're in

Be gone all the demons that surround

Beware as the heavens grow dark again

We dance, standing naked in the rain

Cascading down make us whole again

Vivid memories filled with so much pain

This past long gone - yet you remain

But still you remain

Mourn each and every passing day

And the rain comes down

To wash away your tears

Why do you grieve your life away?

And all you want is to live in pain

When all you need are these cascades of tears
