As I walked in a field of sadness I saw dead willows shift with the wind Black massed passed my way Carrying a simple casket Wooden and pure like the bed of a peasant Chorus: I heard the willows whispering Humming a dark song Entranced by the music I listened To the willow's requiem I heard them whispering Humming a dark song I asked who it was they carried to his grave "It is a dream Killed by a word of grief" No chance to survive Naïve and weak In this cold, dark land Chorus: Leading them all was an innocent beauty Clad in black The widow was grieving - Her name was Hope - For she knew she'll be next To die
