An idea for a song...
No rest for the weary souls
Only stands the test of time
From Grandfather clock, a chime
Death fines them a heavy toll
Chorus:
Silent breath to hold the peace
Strong hands to steady the blow
A wailing cry breaks silence
Pandora’s evils alone know
The brothers: preaching sermon
The sisters: a stone cold tear
And the child will wonder
Why beloved ones aren’t here
Chorus:
Silent breath to hold the peace
Strong hands to steady the blow
A wailing cry breaks silence
Pandora’s evils alone know*
Still, the morning sky is blue
And birds trill a fluty tune
Their lovely bright rhapsody
To heavenly births anew
Bridge:
Too many people have died
To let pass one death more
In many futile wars
Or on the turning tides.
When the weary souls have gone
The world spinning, spinning on
Like a child’s plastic top
Fueled by love and hate along
Chorus:
Silent breath to hold the peace
Strong hands to steady the blow
A wailing cry breaks silence
Pandora’s evils alone know*
