Ashen Eidolon

I remember sunlight dancing across her face
Patterns in my mind gently etched in golden amber
And when the summer ended she'll be gone away
I will become only memories of hauntings and yesterdays

Now summer has ended and the warmth is gone
Nothing but a breeze, a narrow stream that aims to block my passage
In mountain's spring, sorrow took her as it sung
My heart was buried with her in beneath the bleeding oaks

She died alone in the mournful rain
No drop of sun again in painful solitude
She feels the roses black as seething night
I will reside abiding cursed woods

Gold and ochre
Behold the tapestry of the fall
There is a beauty a certain subtle grandeur
In the withering that consumes us all

Among the side, these chosen mouths
They feed upon forgotten soil as
The leaves fly to her desperate cries
As the ravens watch from every branch
And with discreet her final fall
This solemn cause
They count the dead
And throw them to their graves

Time fades
Away as
Sorrow remains

And as a final song she sang:
Time fades
As I comprehend
I am the ashen eidolon
The deeper shade of grey

She shadowed with her flaming leaves
Her wings of golden downs are burning like
The swirling arrows against the pouring rain
Which gave now heart as I am coughing out

Expect her brooding limbs and shattered stars
And now they've hung her lifeless begging corpse
They gave her liming for what she could no longer bear
And forged for her a heaven giving truth

Gold and ochre
Behold the tapestry of the fall
There is a beauty a certain subtle grandeur
In the withering that consumes us all
