Days When Green Was Gold

The livid sky mourned in tears 
And her weeping brought the fears 
For those who laid her shroud 
Must pay the dues with their own blood. 

The weeping was so grave 
Even the chaste were not spared 
The tears that poured was like a sea 
That drowned the souls in agony

Where are the days when green was gold? 
Could you tell me where to fetch them? 
May the souls that are chaste and cold 
Find their way to heaven

May the spirits that wander the abyss 
Find their way to rapture 
May the bane casted like a mist 
Shun the heart of nature 

Oh! I miss the olden days 
When the breeze was cold and pure 
When there was peace on the valleys 
And the view was like a cure
