The Sung Passacaglia

Shadows creep where dreams once lay A fading light leads hearts astray Echoes whisper through hollow halls Life stands still as silence calls A fractured mirror reflects the pain Shards of memories in the rain Threads unravel from time's loom Binding fate in endless gloom Lost in the dark searching the skies A million questions no replies Piano notes The strings they cry A melody for what has died The night leans close to speak my name A restless wind fans life's dim flame Behind each tear new stories flow Yet still the void does softly grow Violins wail like hearts unspoken Dreams as frail as wings once broken Beneath sad stars the earth does churn Lessons learned but wounds still burn Lost in the dark searching the skies A million questions no replies Piano notes The strings they cry A melody for what has died
