Analysis of The Lady has Spoken



the lady has spoken
her spirit is once again staind
by mortal flaws

I hear the voices of time calling
with tremendous thunder
life by life is swept away
in autums perfect breeze

I wish only love upon the lands
I wish only the souls of mourning
to smile again...do not cry for them,
celebrate them.
