The Forsaken

Season's End

The Forsaken


I lie alone, the lull of exhumed memories awake me 
Grief's aurora carillons the funeral of my laughter 
The ascent of agony, a risen luminary of entranced reality 
Rapture, I mourn, dreams of yesterdays adorn me 

Scarred by the thornes of tribulation, I cry 
To god, the architect of erudition, I pray 

Is death the infinite acumen of creation? 
Can I attune to these rhapsodies of affliction? 

Twisted hands sow the gardens of charred reason 
Seams of blood weep morsels of futility 

I am dead to savour the odour of lost seasons 
Laid to rest I whisper lullabies of naivete 

Beyond mourning, still meadows of intranscience shall greet me 
We dance together, through fountains of an immortal spring 
In the ashes of the diamond realm, forever he awaits me 
For eternity... I can hear my father sing
