Fall Of The Leafe

Morning Works

Fall Of The Leafe


Lie and wait 
There's no way out from the lands of the lost 
Lie still in quiet while the morning is working to bring a day of fear to the sons of war 

Sit and listen 
To the other side of border where words so same are told 
And the morning can only bring them another day of fear 
They are blessed by the same god 
And the morning is working to reveal what last night's smoke holds back 

As for the few who hold the will and means 
How do they speak 
What are the words they say to make mothers and fathers turn loved ones into mass of sleepwalkers droning by over the line 
Too far over the line 

The morning can only bring them another day of fear 
All blessed by the same god if such even exists here 
While the morning is working to reveal what last night's smoke holds back 

And look at all this torn city has denied 
These sons of war, so threatened and lied 
Where mere loneliness, even in this mess, can when it wishes, take a man by the blind gut, and toss his own wrong-doings back at his face 
A song breaks out in the cold 

Mother war 
Hear our windless breathing 
Mother war 
Soothing cries with fear 
Mother war 
Our tears drained by loss 
Mother war 
Far over the line
