And the Desperate Heart Seeks To Atone
And The Desperate Heart Seeks To Atone
there is an echo, down canyons of stone,
its sorrows beg relief,
yet the white clouds above,
each sings on all alone
and the desperate heart seeks to atone,
there lies regretful thoughts for ill winds blown
wherein no redemption,
no heartache grants reprieve
to squelch those bad seeds sown,
and bitter fruits born from the dark unknown,
there darkest of blights swells into decay,
its rot festering deep,
no salvation comes,
as bitter harvest stays
within Time's walls of foreboding delay,
there is an echo, down canyons of stone,
its sorrows beg relief,
yet the white clouds above,
each sings on all alone
and the desperate heart seeks to atone,
