From the recording Darkness Falls
Lyrics
Darkness falls and I’m all alone
Sound the tolling bell; roll the casting bones
Hear the heron call and the branches moan
Darkness falls
Chasing time, that elusive thief
Thought we’d ordered hope, but I dined on grief
And the acrid wine offered no relief
Chasing time
Can’t believe that you slipped away
Leaving sudden but slow
There’s no reason, no blame, and no answer
For why the world let you go
When I wake will I see anew
That the hours still pass like they used to do
Or will bindings break; knock the world askew
When I wake
Can’t believe that you slipped away
Leaving sudden but slow
There’s no reason, no blame, and no answer
For why the world let you go
Can’t believe that you slipped away
Leaving sudden but slow
There’s no reason, no blame, and no answer
For why the world let you go
Darkness falls and I’m all alone
Sound the tolling bell; roll the casting bones
Hear the heron call and the branches moan
Darkness falls
