It came upon the midnight clear, that glorious song of old,
from angels bending near the earth, to touch their harps of gold.
Peace on earth, good will to men, from heaven's all gracious King
The world in solemn stillness lay, to hear the angels sing.
Still through the cloven skies they come with peaceful wings unfurled,
and still their heavenly music floats o'er all the weary world,
above it's sad and lowly plains, they bend on hovering wing,
and ever o'er its Babel sounds, the blessed angels sing.
Peace on earth, good will to men, from heaven's all gracious King
The world in solemn stillness lay to hear the angels sing
And ye, beneath life's crushing load, and whose forms are bending low,
who toil along the climbing way, with painful steps and slow,
look now! for glad and golden hours come swiftly on the wing.
O rest beside the weary road, and hear the angels sing.
For lo! the days are hastening on, by prophet seen of old,
With circling years shall come the time foretold
when peace shall over all the earth, its ancient splendors fling, and the whole world send back the song which now the angels sing.
For lo!
For lo the days are hastening on!

The Fields Were Rotting
03:00

All in these fields, here lay the piles!
All of the piles, be friend and foe!
I am not in distress for my fellow fallen,
for they have made their mark in history.
A mighty trend for the wars to come in this land.
I had run to the fields for days, out of hell.
I found myself a mile from the river.
The aroma will be forever present in these fields,
For the monument of death stands as a reminder.
The fire-moths that occupy the land become ever
present in dusk and illuminate the rotting.
The moons harken nocturnal beasts to speak.
I run from their spirits chasing me in the night.
They seek answers for my absence!
Leave me be! Cross over into the Light!
