Today I sowed a seed of sorrow Laid it deep in lifeless ground The earth was cold, the sky was hollow No light nor warmth to wrap around A fleeting hope, a fractured prayer Still drifts within the air Roots will tangle, time will borrow Shadows stretch beneath the rain Every tear that falls upon it Feeds the hunger of my pain Oh, will it bloom in shades of grey? A bitter fruit, a wilted fate? Will the flowers of tomorrow Find me lost in what I made? The wind it whispered in a shiver Through branches bent and torn apart The weight of time, a nameless giver Sowed thorns beneath a dying heart A song of grief, a fading ember Still burns but won’t remember Roots will tangle, time will borrow Shadows stretch beneath the rain Every tear that falls upon it Feeds the seeds of your disdain Oh, will it bloom in shades of grey? A bitter fruit, a wilted fate? Will the flowers of tomorrow Find me lost in what I made? Find (it never did) me I (always) lost (In neverending dreams) () Forsaken to the core!) The ground now breaks beneath my footsteps Cracks expand in quiet screams The seed has grown into a shadow Twisting softly through my dreams A ghostly bloom in silver sorrow A requiem for no tomorrow Today I sowed a seed of sorrow Watched it vanish in the breeze But even sorrow leaves its footprints Blooming scars upon the trees The roots still whisper in the hollow And sorrow sings its elegy
