The wind that roars and shatters the night Kills solace, this, and peace, that What little balm is here for me Is torn away By the Wind. Metal twists and whines out loud These walls are bowing in To entrap me like a seed Encloséd hard By the Wind. Impassioned, is this wind-wracked night Full of sadness, love, and spite The wound inflicted long ago Made gangrenous By the Wind. I see chains that shake and choke Where their sleep is unpleasant Bound by hands that do not touch And laughed at By the Wind. There, those chains in brunette hair And blue eyes and silver tongue Turned away and turned back Vivid life enforced on me By the Wind. Closer and closer the wind pushed walls The farther you are away The tightness, oh solitude Your cadence carried By the Wind. The wind, the wind dissects the very earth I split, it splits by loss of harrowing trial The chasm it makes, pure anger bursts forth I feel the distance as it grows, An adult wound, mile by mile We’ll soon be foreign people Breathing foreign airs So be it! I say, just let me rest, You just keep walking from my mind Blown back again, festering, Blown back again By the Wind.
