Jens Bogren - The Somber Lay lyrics

[Verse 1] A murky presage roaming the land To silence the skylarks chant The somber kiss is at hand To impart the crimson robe Heed the dark some maid Dancing across this equinox To relegate persistence As the bleak darkness grows [Pre-Chorus 1] A cryptal impellent Devoted to the sublime round [Chorus] Beholden for the boons of light Retreating into quietness We harken the somber lay We sing the somber lay [Verse 2] Close your eyes and heed and vide Then you shall see The sphere revolves as it's promised Flames flickering deftly To banish the nipping air The dark time is at hand Lighted by bardic chant Heed the dark some maid To enwrap all in bleakness A dark veil o'silence As quiet insight buds [Chorus] Beholden for the boons of light Retreating into quietness We harken the somber lay We sing the somber lay [Solo] [Verse 3] Darkness roaming the land Long dead the skylarks chant The dark vis usurped command To impart the sallow robe Sure a new light will come The life wheel is rotating onward Given is the promise Thus a**ertive we wear on [Pre-Chorus 2] Life-given impellent Devoted to the sublime round [Chorus] Beholden for the boons of light Retreating into quietness We harken the somber lay We sing the somber lay
