Years Lent -

The stars are falling for there is no time

The night is calling when the heart cries

Seven years were lent to me and I to thee I pay

In the dusk, a woman is singing to me

For whose sake, henceforth, all her vows be such

Taking me back down the vista of years

In the still night where the pale moon appears

The smothering wing of a timeless trance

A scattered chapter of the cold hand of chance

Seven years were lent to me

When the feast is done I know what time brings

Taking me back down the vista of years

In the still night where the pale moon appears

Here the ravens take flight

In the season of the mist

We’ll pray for the warmth of the light

The day is past, and the haven of her is all too far

For whose sake, henceforth, all her vows be such

Years crushed down by the cold chains of time
