Oceans of Slumber - I Mourn These Yellowed Leaves lyrics
[Oceans of Slumber - I Mourn These Yellowed Leaves lyrics]
I breathe in these tattered woes
The autumn scent of a
Thousand scattered souls
Painted memories I trace the lines
Etched in scars
Faded memories and jaded hearts
I mourn their time here and
The harvest's arrival
The gathered bundles in the coming winds
Their time here is through
Into the flames to be consumed
The colours change
The light becomes the dark
Sun washed now fades to a yellow hue
Much like time has become for them
With handfuls of earth I gather the leaves
Despite the fertile soil below
These leaves have no means for life
They can only be how they were designed
A blanket to the dampened ground
A safe place for the insects and bones
They can only be how they were designed
A veil to the earth below
A veil to the earth below
A veil to the earth below
A veil to the earth below
I breathe in these tattered woes
The autumn scent of a
Thousand scattered souls
Painted memories I trace the
Line etched in scars
Faded memories and jaded hearts
I mourn their time here
And the harvest's arrival
The gathered bundles in the coming winds
Their time here is through
Into the flames to be consumed
I breathe in these tattered woes
The autumn scent of a
Thousand scattered souls
Painted memories I trace the
Line etched in scars
Faded memories and jaded hearts
The fires are lit, night is now drawing in
We've settled down to try and warm ourselves
Everything is dying now, only to be reborn
But now we must wait
The seasons can't be rushed
They flutter down like angels
Who've lost their wings
Does that mean that the hell is the
Ground on which we are standing?
The colours change
The light becomes the dark
Sun washed now fades to a yellow hue
Much like time has become for them
With handfuls of earth I gather the leaves
The autumn scent of a
Thousand scattered souls
Painted memories I trace the lines
Etched in scars
Faded memories and jaded hearts
I mourn their time here and
The harvest's arrival
The gathered bundles in the coming winds
Their time here is through
Into the flames to be consumed
The colours change
The light becomes the dark
Sun washed now fades to a yellow hue
Much like time has become for them
With handfuls of earth I gather the leaves
Despite the fertile soil below
These leaves have no means for life
They can only be how they were designed
A blanket to the dampened ground
A safe place for the insects and bones
They can only be how they were designed
A veil to the earth below
A veil to the earth below
A veil to the earth below
A veil to the earth below
I breathe in these tattered woes
The autumn scent of a
Thousand scattered souls
Painted memories I trace the
Line etched in scars
Faded memories and jaded hearts
I mourn their time here
And the harvest's arrival
The gathered bundles in the coming winds
Their time here is through
Into the flames to be consumed
I breathe in these tattered woes
The autumn scent of a
Thousand scattered souls
Painted memories I trace the
Line etched in scars
Faded memories and jaded hearts
The fires are lit, night is now drawing in
We've settled down to try and warm ourselves
Everything is dying now, only to be reborn
But now we must wait
The seasons can't be rushed
They flutter down like angels
Who've lost their wings
Does that mean that the hell is the
Ground on which we are standing?
The colours change
The light becomes the dark
Sun washed now fades to a yellow hue
Much like time has become for them
With handfuls of earth I gather the leaves
