It began with the scented, burning heat of summer
       The sunlight kissed your eyes and made them shine
       That seasons passion, outshone the crimson sky
       And it seemed as if the sun could never pale
       But the curse of autumn cast its deadly spell
       And now the blood flows thick and fast throughout the valley
       And I remember thinking that flowers never last
       Their petals always wither and they die
       And no truer words could sadden my emotions
       That the wind could take your soul like candlelight
