Solace Be These Beads Of Light

Soloist greed this prison bound
And there are echoes within the sound
Solace be these beads of light
Set forth upon this sacred night

And yet to bleed on hallowed ground
No sword to heed my fallen brow
To hear the sound of echoes near
To know thy hand and sense no fear

For lost am I beyond the river kwai
Beneath the heavens sunken sky
Alas to know, and know thee well
Unless ye castled this shadowed spell

Four grains of sand to hear the harps
Beneath the heavens tears impart

To cast the shadows and shed no fear
Even when my end is near
Silent splinters shelter fear
Alas the passage of my years
