I Fell In Silence
04:43
|
|||
I fell in silence once again
I wandered nights blinded
And found myself
Lost inside of them
I looked to trees for guidance
I asked the moon for its sight
This fire is slowly dying
The embers laugh at my despair
This bitter cold inside of me
Even the flames could not repair
And all the things that I have lost
My heart cries out in silent air
My only comfort is knowing
This emptiness inside of me
It makes me whole
And if you come to my door
There will be nobody home

Ophelia’s Stream
03:49
|

She hangs her pearls upon the limb
Before she takes her final swim
Cradled within the silent stream
Unable to wake from her drowning dream
Drowning inside Ophelia’s stream
Drowning inside Ophelia’s stream
Can you hear the haunting scream?
The waters so cold of Ophelia’s stream
Flowers adorn her raven head
Remember me sweet upon my death
Drowning inside Ophelia’s stream
Drowning inside Ophelia’s stream
Her harp has played its final tune
She slips away to her liquid tomb
Life is but a haunted dream
Drowning inside Ophelia’s stream
Drowning inside Ophelia’s stream
Drowning inside Ophelia’s stream

I will dance and I shall sing
Laying violets in a stream
I feel the birds and hear the trees
Silence was always a friend to me
I shall not hide from my fate
For I had died long ago inside this place
I grew these wings and I shall fly
With few cares for sad goodbyes
What will be shall always be
I’ll dance my way in history
I have no cares for hypocrisy
Heaven is only a mystery to me
So lay me down upon the snow
Cover my limbs so they won’t be cold
I will not hide from my fate
For I had died long ago inside this place

Land of the Black Roses
03:37
|
|||
The sky is grey
While the days are long
A distant cold
Upon my skin
A lonely fire burns within
The clouds are lying cryptic low
And so the seeds begin to sow
Wandering down below
My lonely thoughts will always go
The sky is grey
While the days are long
A distant cold
Upon my skin
A lonely fire burns within
To a world that no one knows
Where I can dream and be alone
And in this place I will reside
Upon white lilies my body lie
Where sparrows soar, flying high
And lonely loons begin to cry
While silent streams begin to flow
In the land of the black rose I go
Among haunted forests
In the land of the black rose I go
Among haunted forests
Forevermore

A Death in the Garden
02:27
|
|||
There was a death in the garden
Wakened by early morning cries
When I got there twas too late
Sudden sadness, fallen fate
There was a death in the garden
Beneath the willow tree
Though the roses stayed in silence
I knew what they had seen
So I placed you for them all to see
With roses surrounding your limp body
And I cried for you, with those humble few
Who shall miss you, just like me

Valentine Wolfe Greenville, South Carolina
