Orange shades of day. Reddish yellow decay. The leaves move like flood The ground screams for blood. I was baptized in the river. I offered my gold and my silver. But when the sheep start to gather, then in slither the adders. The witches will rejoice when they hear my name. 'Cause I am the autumn voice. I'm always the same. Ask me, I know, where the good men go. They go down in the hole. By the roots lay their souls. Orange shades of day. Reddish yellow decay. This is where you lay. I've nothing left to say. You better pray when days fade to grey. This is where you lay. Our autumn beds are graves.

about

Why do I always feel like I'm driving towards a death bed, heading to kiss a corpse on the forehead?

Why can't we stop treating the living like the dead, until they've truly left and a eulogy's been read?

Why can't I just lay down somewhere and find some rest?
Like a dying dog would find a bed of leaves to lie in.

Why do I love Autumn the best,
even though it's the season of dying?

Why can't you just wait for me to leave before you carve your holy cross out on my chest?
I'll speak to your God then and I'll tell him of all my sins, not one is lying.

Why can't I just be content with the way things are?
Say goodbye to the souls that leave and leave it at that.

Because I'm selfish, that's why. That's the way things are.
I'm not ready to say goodbye and that's that.
