Silence, comforting and seductive
Nostalgic moments relived in the dark
Darkness of night, hearing rain so reluctant
To let up, crash of thunder, lightning embarks
Splitting light, flashing across the sky
Lifting flight, reflection of years gone by
Music lifting from the ruined souls
Grass overgrown their memorials
Saints and sinners, God and Devil in unified song
Winner and beginner, all searching for reason to go on
Life, much like song, has a tempo, follows flow
But when its done, where do the notes go?
Silence encompassing all, as the chords begin
Where did the last end and this begin?
I've searched long, I've ventured far
No stone unturned to finally learn
David played no secret chord,
He never pleased the lord
Did the beauty in the moonlight mask the reality
Maybe we were all escaping the certain finality
That in the darkness of the still, quiet night
The moon is our only guaranteed light
