Lamentations For the King

Darkness settles in
Grief parades our souls
and covers all like Sin
as we shiver from the cold.

He is gone!
In flesh and blood alone
Nothing left but the bone.

No more years left to chase
gone to be with the Divine
He is no more in this place
far above in Heaven's shrine.

He is gone!
But his spirit remains
Let Heaven bring down the rains.
