Aephanemer - Hellebore

From deep slumber we awaken
When this sudden moment comes
Unexpected news calling
To the bedside of our kin

You have taken the hellebore
To cure your sorrow, heal your sores
Trapped at last by toxic grain
Which for a while relieved the pain

Many major things to do, I recall
Delayed me while you sank into dire fall

We're not aware of the woes to bear
When the somber fate was ever kept at bay
How I bemoan that time has flown
For the coming days are a covered pathway

I seek to mend my faults
And to find the antidote
Will there be enough time
For a change of life ?

Black flowers, misleading leaves
For an evergreen disease
Within the ill, we find the cure
Mourning is real renewal's root

A shade is cast over my bliss
A threat is on your life
Grounds for another sense of guilt
I'm even more in fear for mine

The day has come to take our place on time's curve
Through the grief
To this horror
Which seizes us
We belong

We're not aware of the woes to bear
When the somber fate was ever kept at bay
How I bemoan that time has flown
For the coming days are a covered pathway

I seek to mend my faults
And to find the antidote
Will there be enough time
For a change of life?
