Forever and always
I wish we could be
Instead there are ashes
In a valley once green

Ashes I cultivate
With blood and the heart
Poisoning my soul
And tearing apart

Laying in ashes
I see you afar
Whispers in my ear
"Come here, come now"

Love has no place
Where all rots
Abandon hope
And all other thoughts

Old I shall be
Resting in sleep
Touching the dew
But never you

Never will I leave
Resting under leaves
A truth become farce
So foolish I was

I never shall leave
This valley once green
A farce it may be
But my valley is green
