We fly the black stream
Spiral ever inward
Nevermore to dream
Cutting to windward
Breathing ashes
Choking on nightfall
Lightning clashes
No thunder at all
Softly sowing the seeds of autumn
Softly crowing dark angels condemn
Caught in a whirlpool tonight
Emptiness searching, no light
Smothered by the net
Bloody is the debt
All of our cries swept away
Together alone
Hearts born to bleed
Together we moan
And nourish the seed
Brittle hearts break
Cannot stand the weight
Sinking in the lake
The water is our fate
Softly knowing our souls to mend
Softly rowing dark rivers end
Upon the shore the empty men dwell
And our fathers wave farewell
