Today I weep
And who shall do the same
For empty halls and shadowed flames

For kin that nigh remain

Tonight I sleep

And nightmares have their reign
In grayish dawns and visions gone
The world is not the same


Tomorrow see
A lonely child in pain

His father torn in tides of war
But tears cannot regain


I cannot believe
As I see the fading sun
The child has turned and gone away

The future now is done
