Tears of sadness saturate the walls
Raging wailing echoes down the halls
My heart doesn't stop, it only stalls
You walked out of my life and

Autumn falls

I hear the unclean raven as he calls
I hear the wretch beside me carving spalls
The storm inside me slices as it squalls
I see that you are gone now

Autumn falls

A pleasant memory plucked now recalls
The day I became one of your thralls
Bitter poison of your love now palls
But when you're not beside me

Autumn falls
