Tonight I sing
the saddest notes
ever penned by hand,
Till all awake
in frozen sleep
and listen to my band.
It rises and it falls
in sickened melodies
and stretches all across the lands
and even to the seas.
The strings that pluck-
the brass that howl-
and winds that screech and moan
accompany my hypnotic voice
and chill you to the bone.
For tonight I sing
the saddest notes
ever penned by hand,
Till you awake
in cold embrace
of this girl's darkened band.
