Now, like a vapor it falls
Upon me silently
Within dim lights
So clearly in these halls
I see life passing.
A vapor passing.
Now like a vapor it falls
Upon the graves
Graves so silent
Amidst the merry souls
Worse than ghouls
The like of ghouls.
Now, like a vapor it falls,
Crashing on the ears
Of those few who hear
The cry that it cries so shrill
Beckoning lost ones
Come -oh dark ones-
Now, like a vapor it falls
Harking to the cry
While all about it
There are no souls alive
To hear its sadness
Its lonely sadness
