The Rest Is Gone

Poem from the poem book.

The time has come again for the light to fade, my child
The Goddess descends into the world of darkness
Close the door to the bitter cold
The gates of Hel will loose once more
Saying, “The rest is gone”

And maybe, you wonder, maybe he will be there
Singing his mournful song, alone in the distance
But you know the truth, what became of them
What the night foretold, we sing tonight
“The rest is gone”

I always wondered if the lone wolf hears the howling
Over the freezing chill and blowing winds on the mountain
But you will never dream, these ceaseless questions
He cries, and you hear the words,
“The rest is gone”

In the farthest reaches of your darkened mind he stands there
Brighter than the midday sun, stronger than all the oceans
But you know the truth, what became of him
You cry and echo his words
“The rest is gone”
