Obsequiae

Lyrics to Autumnal Pyre







Luminous groves in twilight

Alit by scarlet fire

Lustrous and fleeting firmament

Caressing autumnal pyre



Ardent eyes with the depths of a well

Silken tears upon the earth befell



Weeping under the clouds

Storms and gale pervade

Striking the cliffs in the distance

Tears of silver cascade



Fields now lay trodden in amber

And leaves of gold sprawl the mire

Dying needles of the tamarack

Released as the branches grow tired



Hear my words

Touch my hands

Fires now burning

Where foliage now stands
