"I am as old as I've ever been, but I'm as young as I'll ever be." -Robert O'Neill


Sunlight covered with a cloth

sorrow drawn just like a moth

 

No summer breeze 

no honey bees

 

The darkness begins to fall 

now hear the sparrows call

 

Are they dead or are they sleeping

for now outside I hear something creeping

 

Hear the curses lullaby

followed by a newborns cry

 

The darkness begins to fall

now hear the sparrows call

 

Be they daft or be they damned?

Both misguided by a gifted hand

 

Light and dark are converged to one

a sinful mother with a holy son

 

The darkness begins to fall

now hear the sparrows call

 

Now earth is drained of purposed

mans lust and hate has cursed us

 

Heavens stars fall, and strike them on the head

now mankind is gone, the universe is dead

 

The darkness begins to fall

now hear the sparrows call
