[Verse]
A swing hangs still, swayed by memory’s breath,
Your guiding voice lost to the chill of death.
Lessons you taught now erode in despair,
My soul fractures where your wisdom flared.
[Chorus]
Empty swing, your lessons scar my mind tonight,
Sorrow’s veil obscures the starlight’s sight.
Through this elegy, your counsel haunts my way,
Gone, yet locked in longing’s bleak array.
[Verse]
No throne you claimed, but your words held sway,
Now silence reigns where your insights lay.
Skies grow dim, they weep for truths you gave,
Each thought of you digs a deeper grave.
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Empty swing, your lessons scar my mind tonight,
Sorrow’s veil obscures the starlight’s sight.
Through this elegy, your counsel haunts my way,
Gone, yet locked in longing’s bleak array.
[Bridge]
Worn bench sighs of days when you shaped my view,
Your faded maxims feed this bitter rue.
Cling to this ache, though it rends my will,
Your absence gnaws with a ceaseless chill.
[Outro]
Empty swing, you anchor me to woe,
Your echo stays, my grief will never go.
