The Great Alone The greatest fear is to lose the one dearest to oneself the shadows even darken soulless darkness The day goes without sunlight even at noon day where does the brave contend while loss bends comfort No hiding place exist you understand the lifeless void love taken only obstruction lives in all starkness All is gone the tumblers of the safe are dissolved you can’t lock anything in safety nothing can oppose No desert ever formed looks and feels like this landscape baked to the point nothing recognizable Shade is filled with inner burning always turning thoughts are only heavy weights you must bare Where is the water once it held you with buoyancy now seek as you do none is found at all sizable Burnished sand this wayfarer knows its captivity well it is only like a tightening rope around the heart The still frightens because down its corridors the laughter of yesterday still quietly forcefully echo Avoid natural reflections those images the most painful hurts dwell you feel their presence can’t touch Embodiment longing that holds the greatest promise now a cross a twist on the crops of the god Peko What mocking to speak of harvest when there is only devastation your heart where not one plant grows He once walked where you walk his experiences reflect these very facts they are the human equivalent You have lost that which can’t be replaced you know pain and sorrow he lost most of those he created Then by love he came to rescue that which was lost he carried your pain by their action he is irrelevant In the soon clearing mist all eyes will dry dead hearts will be made a live with joy and what a gathering

The Great Alone
The Great Alone The greatest fear is to lose the one dearest to oneself the shadows even darken soulless darkness The day goes without sunlight even at noon day where does the brave contend while loss bends comfort No hiding place exist you understand the lifeless void love taken only obstruction lives in all starkness All is gone the tumblers of the safe are dissolved you can’t lock anything in safety nothing can oppose No desert ever formed looks and feels like this landscape baked to the point nothing recognizable Shade is filled with inner burning always turning thoughts are only heavy weights you must bare Where is the water once it held you with buoyancy now seek as you do none is found at all sizable Burnished sand this wayfarer knows its captivity well it is only like a tightening rope around the heart The still frightens because down its corridors the laughter of yesterday still quietly forcefully echo Avoid natural reflections those images the most painful hurts dwell you feel their presence can’t touch Embodiment longing that holds the greatest promise now a cross a twist on the crops of the god Peko What mocking to speak of harvest when there is only devastation your heart where not one plant grows He once walked where you walk his experiences reflect these very facts they are the human equivalent You have lost that which can’t be replaced you know pain and sorrow he lost most of those he created Then by love he came to rescue that which was lost he carried your pain by their action he is irrelevant In the soon clearing mist all eyes will dry dead hearts will be made a live with joy and what a gathering
