Beneath the Fading Sun

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
