Under The Plaintive Sky Lyrics

Under The Plaintive Sky lyrics

And so does the downhearted tune

Resound through this murky night

And the wind groan its wistful song

For the ill-lucked dwellers in plight



These two round-shouldered figures

Forward slowly through this grey day

Under the fores'ts white canopy

Out of the drifting snow's way



With rime dressed-faces they wander

With guilt carved-hearts they flee

With grim stained-minds they hover

Between hope and despair



With rime dressed-faces they wander

With guilt carved-hearts they flee

With grim stained-minds they ponder

If they ever be free of their sins



May the stars become my eyes

And the wind become my hearing

Let them guide us through

These pitch-dark mornings



May the snowfall end

And the shining moon rise

So we can find our way out

From these all-consuming nights



Underneath the blanket of stars

Embraced by another cold night

Two round-shouldered figures

Leave these shores behind



Quietly they wonder

If they ever will see the light

They now lose in their shadows

Owe to the darkest of nights
