Solitude - Oubliette

You slowly decay, a desolate form

The delirium overcomes your flesh

Too weak for the battle against the misery

The hour of your death has come

Young one, close your eyes

The light leads you to elation

Rest forever in an endless solitude

The clocks have stopped as we all gather

Dress you in a pale garment

Tie the bell to your icy finger

To prepare your body for interment

Carry you from where your season began

Never saw the ending of spring

Now to be buried before you saw the winter

You were here, a brief moment on this plane

Now all has ended, the fall of your existence

Lower you to the depths, beneath the roots of the trees

As you are lowered into the ground

All my soul can feel is despair

Grief has left me blind to the cold world you left behind

A destiny unfulfilled

Left a gap in the world

I’ll never get to watch you grow

All I feel is sorrow

Now all has ended, the fall of your existence

Lower you to the depths, beneath the roots of the trees
