Analysis of There then gone



In the moment comes your time
with song birds chirping rhymes
eagerly there once never again
the sultans sword sunk in men

death blights the cold awake
of shadows sleep and waste
destiny before fate never to late
the righteous behold eternity waits

my joy of natures growth
the married womens past lover below
oh how she grows her beauty
always nice but never naughty

through fog on moors
approaching the locked door
over ice and frost
nothing was ever lost
