As Midnight Ensues

Golden swaying heads of the amber waves
the sunshine sweetly upon the wheat fields’
Tares are standing taller in their own graves
Only the mercy of God is that which staves
falling to the ground the flowing harvest yields
Golden swaying heads of the amber waves
that which slips into darkness as death craves
The sun shines sweetly upon granite shields
Tares are standing taller in their own graves
One is truly free in life but both are slaves
The reaper comes fast a sharp scythe he wields
Golden swaying heads of the amber waves
Marching proud to the sounds of their own claves
War drums beat as a gathering storm builds
Tares are standing taller in their own graves
Never knowing his grace the one that saves
Sun and the rain comes upon the dark guilds
Golden swaying heads of the amber waves
Tares are standing taller in their own graves
