The Mourners Plain

Hanging Garden

Compositor: Roman Kolarík

Since your death
In these burning shades of dusk
Still i crave
While plunging through this mourners plain

Into depths
I summon them to swallow me away
Until the end
Deeper wounds draw me the way

Astray i flow onto this world
And depart from this life
Life in disdain
The further i drift
In a reverie now stained red
The deeper i fall
Into timeless rest

At the sight of your rest
I bear witness to a loss
What ever tempted you
You must have felt it stronger then i do

Thirteen seasons
And no solace guides me
Come spring and the warming sun
But i have died once

Grant me sleep
In the crimson sea of life
An i cherish
This darkness of hope and light
