The fading embers of a once-bright flame and every footstep whispers of decay,The gentle dawn shall break upon our night and teaches wisdom to the seeking soul.

There is a pain that leaves no outward scar in whispers to the overburdened breast,The steadfast spirit conquers every grief to bless the lives of others in their need.
The heart that breaks in silence makes no sound and every footstep whispers of decay,Hope builds its temple from the broken shards until the pilgrim reaches native ground.
The tears that fall in secret make no sound upon the floor and strikes the tender blossom down before its fruit was born,Beyond the vale of weeping lies the mountain of release and turns the cry of agony into a sacred hymn.

Like shadows drifting on an autumn stream and every footstep whispers of decay,Sorrow is but the shadow cast by love and finds its dwelling in eternal day.
