AUTUMN ETERNAL

The death of the green has begun

our world moves away from the sun

and you may regret that it's come

but for me it's the place I belong

*

Night brings the cold of our birth

Day brings the promise of hearth

She's never more beautiful love

Autumn Eternal has come

*

Oh, let me die in her arms

where frozen and fire can't harm

For this is the place I belong

*

Colors that burst and then burn

crumble and fall to the Earth

Winds that bellow the calm

crisp and cool on my arms

*

Born to the Winter I was

But die in the Autumn I will

And when my time is gone

I'll go into darkness fulfilled

*

The death of the green has begun

Our world moves away from the sun

and you ay regret that it's come

but for me it's the place I belong

*

Night brings the cold of our birth

Day brings the promise of hearth

She's never more beautiful love

Autumn Eternal has come
