about

This is an old D&D/Dragonlance song I rewrote and reworked to capture the essence of winter here in the wet, cold, brooding woodlands of Cascadia.

lyrics

The Sun, the splendid Eye
of all the Heavens
dives from the day.

And leaves the dozing sky
speckled with fireflies,
deepening in gray.

[Chorus]:
Sleep,
our oldest friend,
lulls in the trees
and calls us in.

Leaves give off cold fire,
they blaze into ash
at the end of the year.

Birds on coastal winds
flee to the south
when autumn ends.

The days grow dark,
long nights drown in rain,
without the sun's green fire
upon the trees.

[Chorus]

Fog suffocates the sky,
beneath the starving moon
our ambitions all die.

The breath of firefly, of bird,
the breath of humankind,
fades in a word.

[Chorus]
