I have purposely included a reprise (instead of a regular refrain or repetition) in this lament.
The poets ease a troubled soul –
their lyrics echo in the heart
that yearns for soothing silence –
a sombre melody that shadows part.
Echoes drift
where silence clings
We mourn the scribes as truth
has given way to ego, pride.
The echo found in coded pyre
alongside ashes piled in their stride.
Echoes drift
where silence clings
Their tearstained pages worn folios,
yet still we sing the songs of yore
to glean some semblance of an art;
a wisdom that has gone before.
Echoes drift
where silence clings
Echoes drift
where silence clings
Optional Refrain:
Yet still we sing the songs of yore
to glean some semblance of an art.
We yearn for soothing silence;
a sombre melody that shadows part.
Echoes drift
where silence clings
Echoes drift
where silence clings
