Abandoned Unto Sky Lyrics

The silent statue stands
Solid, crumbling
Visage stoic, distorted by time

Dry roots and grey trunk
The tree upright
Shows no sign of growth

Solitary, in a field
Left to sink to surface
Cracked wood, also grey
A barn, forlorn
Tended by no man
Abandoned by all
Given unto the sky

In this I see death
Remarkable
In silent repose
Sickened by reality
A severed head
A broken body
Dismembered spirit
Ravaged and left for consumers of carrion
A sweet sickness
The smell of dried blood

The kiss of remembrance
In darkness, despair
The silent transition
Into depths of grey darkness

I embrace the changing
As autumn gives way to winter
And ice surrenders to thaw
As dusk gives way to nightfall
As the mists become the fog
A mountain falls to the sea
I embrace the changing
The fall to arcane shade
