As I Lay Here Cold and Hopeless Lyrics

The leaves began to fall

Covering the tombs by nightfall

A lonely dusk among tall trees

With silence my only bliss

I spent my last days in peace

This sweet scent of a new descent

Makes me yearn for our lives spent

Creeping through the atmosphere

It melded with time and disappeared

And became one with the lustrous air

The sky showers the ground with its tears

Bathing every fallen leaf clear

The psithurism accompanies my ears

This is my final ode to you

Autumnal melancholy

The light that shone so bright

In times of suffering and loss

Has withered and died

The wind that brought solace

In times of pain and sadness

Has been eternally silenced

This wound shall forever stay

Affliction prolongs day by day

The stars are my only witnesses

As I lay here, cold and helpless

Beneath this grave is where I lie

Hearing the ravens mourn as they fly

I wish only if once again I could cry

Forlorn and isolated for years

Sleeping eternally upon shears

Relish my long-forgotten tomb

With thy flowers so blissful

Bless me with your tears
