boduf songs - fall of cherry blossoms in long shadows of twilight lyrics

there is grief in these hills
sorrow’s blood running through these fields
hear it course to remind of a voice left behind
shadows long across the ground
sky is bruised as the sun goes down
gracious glow slips away in the jaws of the day

blossoms drop, spiral down
fall in drifts where we fell
daggers drawn, places set
move in slow, silent steps
daggers raised, edges keen
moving in, closing in
drawing in, closing in
