The Dark Comes In On the Breeze

Original Lyrics and Music Copyright Johanna J.Trenholm 2026 Digitally Enhanced With Suno All Rights Reserved [Verse 1] Four sit in the bonds of friendship Sharpened ear turned out to the west Ash on their sleeves, mud on their hems A staff held loose at the chest The fire burns low in the waning A Prayer rises up into the night Purple sky pressed flat in the gloaming As the last bird quits it's flight [Verse 2] Two beards in the brush venture nearer And are watched in the silvered fog They yearn for the warmth of the embers They seek a place by the log Sleep close, rest long my dear companions For the hills now know our names Watchful eyes will not abandon us Till the fire returns to flame [Chorus] An eerie mist starts to gather At the edge of the stones and the grass It's tendrils crawl with deep purpose Slow as a vow from the past I watch it lift through their dreaming I watch it lean on the trees Six travelers breathe in the streaming While the dark comes in on the breeze [Verse 3] By dawn the camp has gone hollow An ominous sky all around They wake in a country of ruin And by an unknown evil crowned No path marks the road homeward No tracks in the mud to find Only the smell of wet stone and bone And a curse following close behind Chorus] An eerie mist starts to gather At the edge of the stones and the grass It's tendrils crawl with deep purpose Slow as a vow from the past I watch it lift through their dreaming I watch it lean on the trees Six travelers breathe in the streaming While the dark comes in on the breeze While the dark comes in on the breeze While the dark comes in on the breeze
