Lay Of The Autumn Lyrics - Across The Dark - Insomnium

(I...) I sing with a shattered voice 

(I...) I sing with a heavy heart 

There in the deepest well of dreams 

Echoed a distant song 

I hearkened to the hallowed voice 

Stirred from ageless sleep 

Through this barren soil you came 

Sweet scent of spring 

Came and cast the earth in bloom 

Lent your light to me 

But now the summer's dreams are bent 

Like grain against the scythe 

And memories of blissful days 

They fall like leaves 

For autumn's songs are made of loss 

Of yearning and regret 

In bitter tone they are recited 

Uttered with a heavy heart 

"I sing with shattered voice 

A tale of marred souls 

I cry for consumed hearts 

And springs forever gone" 

The lights of sun and stars will fade 

And moon covers its face 

All the tunes will quiet down 

And the songs shall die 

As this wretched heart unfolds 

Like mouth of furnace grins 

Inside there's but a blackened cell 

Full of filth and flames 

There once was time when I resounded by your side 

There once was time when I trembled under your eyes 

What do I hear when you're gone? 

The wind's harrowing cry 

What do I hear when you're gone? 

The sighing of the languid grief 

Cold creeps in, silver crowns the land 

Long are the evening now, grave the guilt's weight 

Stars shriek their emptiness in the darkling sky 

All the world is but a barrow shrouded in white
