Burtle

Falling Leaves

I hear something’s wrong

Whispered into my ears

Like a malevolent song

My heart caught by its lures

All around I see trees

Down go falling leaves

 

I hop from the ground

Wind whistling through

But I am caught by the sound

Of the darkness’ coup

Pain and disease

Down go falling leaves

 

Where does this lead?

A path not taken by most

But one I must heed

If I want to run from this ghost

The voice cuts and cleaves

Down go falling leaves

 

I arrive to see light

A clearing so clean

It can cleanse this blight

The darkness not seen

It\'s time for new beliefs

Down go falling leaves

 

A new song begins

One of clarity and calm

I hope for the sins

To be healed and gone

Music that weaves

Down go falling leaves

 

The notes start play

No longer sad and corrupt

I see a new day

A song saying Wake Up

My broken soul it relieves

Down go the falling leaves
