The Smiling Black Lyrics

With it again, flowing with the tide of grief
Broken by the passing of undone years
And all the anguish now in my self, true self
Another season wasted as shallow relief

In my tears all the dreams have perished
In my despair I was powerless (to destroy)
Never learning how existence could be
Never knowing the illusion I called joy

I drink deep

Where are the songs of summer now and the sun
Left me in shades and silence clung together as one
Rememberance wakes with a train of memories
Turning the past into pain - illusion and reality
