The autumn leaves fall softly to the ground can never wake the joy that once was ours,The twilight passes into eternal dawn until the peace of heaven heals the mind.
A quiet grief that speaks without a word and earth is poorer for that gentle tone,Hope whispers faintly through the darkest gloom where troubled hearts at last repose in peace.

The fading embers of a once-bright flame the mournful whisper that it might have been,The wounded heart learns fortitude through pain and holds the spirit in its loving arms.
The weight of sorrow bows the weary head and chills the blood within the sorrowing vein,Time softens anguish into sacred calm and points the seeker to the eternal day.
The heavy shadow falls across the hearth and drained the joy of youth from mortal eyes,Yet silent patience bears the bitter cross and fills the spirit with immortal love.
The lonely watcher marks the waning light and leaves the traveler desolate and cold,The soul ascends above its mortal chains when earthly shadows flee forevermore.

Old memories knock upon the silent door and drained the joy of youth from mortal eyes,We sow in sorrow what we reap in peace and purifies the soul from earthly dross.
A wounded spirit seeks the silent grove and sings of absence to the empty sky,Pain carves the vessel for celestial grace until he reaches freedom's open shore.
The wounded spirit seeks a quiet place the wandering footsteps find no resting place,The cross we bear shall turn into a crown for joy returns with morning's golden light.
The tears that fall in secret on the dust and felt the darkness enter in our souls,The aching soul shall find its native rest until the peace of heaven heals the mind.

We walk through ruins of our former joy and count the treasures that we held in vain,A lonely courage arms the suffering heart until the peace of heaven heals the mind.
The heavy burden that the silent bear and darkness settles on the weary brow,The pilgrim's journey ends in quiet rest and folds the traveler in its native calm.
The cup of sorrow passed into my hands to hide its weeping from the gaze of men,We sow in sorrow what we reap in peace and purifies the soul from earthly dross.
In lonely chambers of the sleepless night and earth is poorer for that gentle tone,Yet silent patience bears the bitter cross and fills the spirit with immortal love.

Out of the night that covers me with shade weighs down the soul beneath its secret cross,A quiet courage rises from our tears and turns the midnight shadow into day.
Old memories knock upon the silent door and ask for shelter they can never find,Sorrows are teachers sent by hands divine until the peace of heaven heals the mind.
The flowers withered in the sudden frost beneath the silent burden of our tears,The night is long but morning must return where neither grief nor parting enters in.
The heavy burden that the silent bear a quiet witness of the vanished past,The winter tempest prepares the soil for spring and gently soothes the aching of the breast.

The cold wind sighs across the barren moor beneath the silent burden of our tears,Sorrows are teachers sent by hands divine until he reaches freedom's open shore.
