Summer slips and falls and winter awaits like a nemesis, Legion
But here and now, autumn sprawls before us, for another season
Farewell light, 'tis now the realm of darkness beyond this equinox
Until the tide of time realigns the days, all gauged by restless clocks
All too soon the witches will awaken their cold reptilian blood
To course through veins, like the Styx, in a dark Cimmerian flood
And SAD will stir itself from its slumber and take centre stage
On its sadistic mission to consume us all in its parasitic phage
Now there's no time or space for summer, for autumn's calling
And the sombre gathering shadows are disconsolately crawling
So light fires to dispel the demons, let beacons burn upon the tors
To cast the dwindling twilight across to distant and future shores
For soon, leaves will fill the air, golden brown and russet red
To fall to the earth, they were once alive, but now they're dead
For the tide of time is dire and pours through three month blocs
Flowing into a realm of darkness, after another autumn equinox
