The Apparition's Song

How clear the apparition sang by the tree his body gave a place where a seedling sprang from within his shallow grave An evil life they cut short with a rope that seemed his fate from the noose came no retort as his neck was cracked by hate While suspended in the air into his shirt dropped a life it went with him to the lair where there was no longer strife And while above fires raged in an all consuming rape it was below in his cage waiting there for it's escape From near a heart very dark the tears of clouds caressing to in time build up strong bark so everyones a blessing Hear the specter and his song as it breezes through the limbs after a life lived so wrong there's good within ghostly hymns
