eery still

music stopped
wind eery still
who to talk to?
where to turn?
distance far
how to reach?
watching in slow motion
the people around me
falling
one by
one

where is the horse and rider?
where is the promised aid?
covenant of covenants
promised word
must hold
firm
or hearts will
crumble
fail
quail
and run away
if they run
more are exposed
not enough
to protect the
weak and young.

return
return
oh call again
perhaps they have not heard
maybe too far away
something has waylaid

still they fall
no one comes
was all the work in
vain?
i'll not run
and i'll not hide
small though
i am
not enough worth
for a capital
not enough
but still
still i'll stand
still i'll try
still i'll do my best
until all pass away
i'll not be
unfaithful
i will wait
until i fall
i will wait
for them all
and though i fail
and though it may be
vain
perhaps i'll have made
enough time
for others to
escape
enough way
for others to
continue
forward

music stopped
wind eery still
who to talk to?
where to turn?
distance far
promised word
must
hold


One gone, the other in critical situation.
