A cold wind blows at night

Silence covers what used to be elation

Peering into absent light

Where love once was

Roses withered in the cold

Endless moonlit nights

Winter of the soul

Winter of fleeing affection

I lay here with my thoughts

My kingdom of despair

Broken stone and eroded faces

Faces of affection lost

Summer came and left

Bringing autumn in its wake

The autumn of falling leaves

And color that embraced me

But coldness did collapse me

Swathed in fading hues

And vibrant color fled

Exiled from the blue

Cold in my heart

Gazing on the memory of my fractured soul

Cold in my arms

You're lifeless, yet going home

Black is the setting sun

I've taken everything that you've ever loved

Black is the soul

This is your lacrimosa
