Wither - Anachronaeon

The barren trees point to the grey sky

Rotten leaves lay on the ground

The cold winds haunt, it’s raining

And it never seems to end

A woman in clothes so thin

Wanders the streets alone

Trail of tears in her beautiful face

As she stumbles in fear

A time of inner loneliness

Embraced by the darkness

A wish to sleep eternal

In beautiful bright dreams

Candles are burning bright through windows

Doors are closed and locked

Screaming winds consume all heat

Yes, this is the time when everything dies

Gaunted and pale she hallucinates

Dreaming of warm clothes and food

But she was known by none

And forgotten by all

Bewinged creatures gather in the sky

Together in search for the light

For these are truly the forgotten lands

Watch the beauty wither and die

A cold moonlit night turned to day

But the warmth in her heart couldn’t keep death away

Her mouth open wide as in a silent scream

Her body stiff and numb

Her blue lips never smiled again

On her chin she had crystals of tears

Yes, this is the time when life fades away

Watch the beauty wither and die
