I walked down to a river And sat in reflection of what had to be done An offering of crimson flowed into the water below A wound of spirit from which it floated and faded away Like every hope I’ve ever had. . . Like every dream I’ve ever known. . . It washed away in a tide of longing A longing for a better world From my will My throat To the river And into the sea Wash away. . . Fade away. . . Agalloch, “In The Shadow of Our Pale Companion” ---
