Death Knoll

Oh sing yon violin upon your strings and play harps and lutes melodious things come sooth my soul and for our losses and shatter pain upon our bed of mosses Dost thou dare to stay our hearts entwined do cast your light and airy within our mind so also to our agony do make us blind where in time we shall life kinder find Do misdirect my thoughts upon a fairer course lead me now away from paths remorse fail not to impart joy and from its source and to the courts whats odious I do divorce and there expire bitterness and mans afflictions unto the burial sites with their benedictions the ends of tribulations on the morrow as I have some aspersion to this sorrow Come twist your ropes do wrap in harmony the golden strand in archetypes that be fluid in the cups elixir we do drink to shelter from woe and misery we sink Clasp the inner man intone your song return to us the living among our throng embrace the consolation and hold whats dear for upon us all this place draws ever near COPYRIGHT © 2009 C Michael Miller via Duboff Law Group LLC
