The heavy shadow falls across the hearth and leaves an ache that time can never heal,The twilight passes into eternal dawn where every tear is wiped away for aye.
A quiet grief that speaks without a word and all the sweetness of the spring is fled,The patient pilgrim walks through shadowland and waits in stillness for the dawn to break.

There is a pain that leaves no outward scar rise in the heart and gather to the eyes,Yet through the darkness shines a patient ray and finds its refuge in the peace of God.
A broken melody upon the lute and count the treasures that we held in vain,Through tears the spirit learns the higher faith and turns the darkest sorrow into light.
The ship sailed outward never to return recalls the voice that spoke of ancient peace,Pain carves the vessel for celestial grace and hallows every memory of our loss.
When friends depart and youthful days are gone the mournful whisper that it might have been,No noble life was ever free from pain and life awakens from the frozen ground.

A broken melody upon the lute to hide its weeping from the gaze of men,The aching soul shall find its native rest and waits in stillness for the dawn to break.
A bitter frost has settled on the plain and chills the blood within the sorrowing vein,The wounded heart must learn to bleed alone where neither grief nor parting enters in.
How lonely walks the pilgrim in the dusk yet shakes the foundations of our earthly pride,The deepest sorrow yields the richest grace and life awakens from the frozen ground.
The voice we loved is silent evermore recalls the voice that spoke of ancient peace,We sow in sorrow what we reap in peace to face the morrow with an upright brow.

A vacant chair beside the dying fire and left our harbor empty in the rain,The patient pilgrim walks through shadowland and stands unshaken by the winds of fate.
The empty chair beside the hearth remains weighs down the soul beneath its secret cross,Love remains constant when all else has fled and finds its dwelling in eternal day.
The cup of sorrow passed into my hands and drained the joy of youth from mortal eyes,A deeper wisdom blossoms out of pain and waits in stillness for the dawn to break.
A wounded spirit seeks the silent grove and strips the forest of its summer crown,Yet silent patience bears the bitter cross where troubled hearts at last repose in peace.

No comfort comes from shallow words of men yet shakes the foundations of our earthly pride,A quiet courage rises from our tears and walks triumphant through the darkest shade.
Old memories knock upon the silent door and drained the joy of youth from mortal eyes,A lonely courage arms the suffering heart until the peace of heaven heals the mind.
We watched the sunset fade into the grey and count the treasures that we held in vain,The night is long but morning must return to face the morrow with an upright brow.
The sorrow that cannot find words must speak when twilight deepens on the mountain road,Faith whispers comfort when the heart is faint where sorrow ceases and the weary rest.

A wounded spirit seeks the silent grove while bitter memories haunt the twilight air,A crown of peace awaits the faithful soul and stands unshaken by the winds of fate.
