On The Dark Cliffs

On the dark cliffs full of shadows The river is rushing, the water crashing Headed towards the inevitable fall On the dark cliffs full of shadows No creatures are seen, no creatures are heard All have left so long ago On the dark cliffs full of shadows The river is rushing, the water crashing Always on a devious course On the dark cliffs full of shadows The sunlight is hidden, the sunlight is repose The darkness rules the cliffs On the dark cliffs full of shadows The river is rushing, the water crashing Indifferent to which way it flows On the dark cliffs full of shadows The cliffs are steep, the cliffs are virulent Few live to tell their tale
