lyrics

the Darkness Dove
the darkness dove is out of reach the smoke of battle and costly peace
with outstretched talons I beseech an olive branch to join the breech
the darkness dove makes no reply It seems a vulture as earth dies
It seems a rheumy sickly eye an ocean bed that's dead and dry
It gains us nothing to implore He is not recognized no more
It caught my heart and made it tore I'm sick and weary of its war
return what you promised
the darkness dove upturns dead trees pulls up old railway tracks like weeds
his heart outworn with gutted grief to never find sweet death's release
the darkness dove digs deeper graves and knows what path man's hatred paves
his song no more a call that saves the noble-men turned pack of knaves
our gates too fortified to breech our jagged shells pepper the beach
a beach too old and driftwood bleached no lessons now too late to teach
no more come a winging all hail the night the cold of winter's might gather the wind and darkness gather the rain and ice gather the dregs and dross-blow assembled in the night
