Butterflies floating gently on autumn leaves
Sunlight streams through darkened sky
Life, once blooming fades
Cast into the lie
I hear the sweet words calling
Lost among the waves
Once we were kings
Now we’re only slaves
Autumn was our love
Now she is our death
From our waking reason
To our final breath
The breath we breath is silent
Heard amongst the ill
We’ve lost the bet, the triumph
Even lost our will
She was our faithful queen
Now cheated we’ve forgot
The life we used to have
The words decay and rot
The night grows ever darker
Our shadows lost in gloom
Amongst the angry spirits
That seal to us our doom
Our final words were never spoken
For our hearts, forever broken.
