The music that haunts these misty woods Would make the earth beloved and yet The notes she harbours gently play In solitude their strange duet The song that owns these frightening woods Must needs be calm, must needs be eloquent The melancholy in its tunes But tell of days in goodness spent The wasteland’s weary of destruction Yet we danced around in hollowness The grave spits out the wasted bones And mourns and mourns its idleness The lark, the sparrow shall keep singing The uncontested voice of ceremony A song that brings and will keep bringing To peace a finished melody The final beat’s oblivion And many died before the stroke Thus silence rounds the symphony The great unfinished never spoke

Music of the Night
The music that haunts these misty woods Would make the earth beloved and yet The notes she harbours gently play In solitude their strange duet The song that owns these frightening woods Must needs be calm, must needs be eloquent The melancholy in its tunes But tell of days in goodness spent The wasteland’s weary of destruction Yet we danced around in hollowness The grave spits out the wasted bones And mourns and mourns its idleness The lark, the sparrow shall keep singing The uncontested voice of ceremony A song that brings and will keep bringing To peace a finished melody The final beat’s oblivion And many died before the stroke Thus silence rounds the symphony The great unfinished never spoke
