Song title Back To Times Of Splendor
Artist Disillusion
half way through the wheat
my golden foe
with his itching ears in the scorching heat
the weight of summer
torment to my hands
armed with a sickle i am out for his beguiling glance
thought i heared a mare neighing from the creek
where in every hour spared we anxiously would meet
drunken whispers noone could hear
'til the day when hordes of wasps

a strong foreboding of a storm arising
and willows'd roar
midges dazzled
birches sigh from painful lessons
lessons they'd learned in life
that every stem breaks if bent too far
will i run for a shelter and quiver ?
will i run away
be idle and shiver ?
and thunders pound so hard
pound the drums of warfare
hungry clouds draw closer with reptile teeth as lightning
is it the fear of the inevitable that is keeping me awaiting?
i am rigid as of reverence
still and enduring
i must have seen it coming
oh my longing's neverending time's so pale
so come with colors
paint it burning red
