Life and Decay (An Eerie Lullaby)
Music and Lyrics by Priscilla Hernandez
All voices and instruments performed by Priscilla Hernandez
Spooky Special composed for Halloween 2019 and my new song (more a musical poem: Life and Decay)
As I have been doing for the past few years I share an eerie special release. October is that moody month.. mist and fog, chilly air, leaves swirling down leaving naked branches... all the green colours of summer fading into the stark cold. As the song itself wants to portray... it's all a circle. And even when we are gone, we'll have a purpose.
Lyrics:
All we held dear
is long time gone
All that we were
dust and pale bone
the place we lay
lost and forlorn
There's nothing left
no names to mourn
It never ends
Life and Decay
But once a year
when days are dim
and candles light
sinister grins
The veil is thin
The veil is torn
We rise and pray
to be reborn
We're bound to play
this endless game
Life and Decay
All we held dear
is long time gone
All that we were
dust and pale bone
the place we lay
lost and forlorn
There's nothing left
no names to mourn
It never ends
Life and Decay
But once a year
when days are dim
and candles light
sinister grins
The veil is thin
The veil is torn
We rise and pray
to be reborn
We're bound to play
this endless game
Life and Decay
Todo lo que queríamos
se ha perdido hace mucho tiempo
Todo lo que éramos
polvo y pálido hueso
El lugar donde yacemos
perdido y abandonado
No queda nada
ni siquiera nombres que llorar
Nada termina
Vida y descomposición
Pero una vez al año
cuando los días son sombríos
y velas iluminan
risas siniestras
El velo es delgado
El velo está rasgado
Nos alzamos y rogamos renacer
Estamos condenados a jugar
este juego sin fin
Vida y descomposión
