Appalachian Winter - Desolation Lyrics

What are the words
For one who can only weep
As his loved ones senesce back into the dust
From which we all rise

What are the words for one
Who can only watch his world die
What are the words?

What are the words for when
Summer's gentle countenance
Falls into desolation
And Winter's dark shadow rises

What are the words to answer terror
What are the words to answer grief
What are the words to answer helplessness
What are the words to answer a broken heart

As this beautiful world falls into chaos
As all whom you love fade into memory
Now, more than ever
Find your strength
