Holy Isle

Holy Isle

The seals wailed loud on Holy Isle the day you heard the news,
All had been quiet till that moment,
A moment you could not choose.

Tears stung your eyes, you stood to lose
Your sanity in the ferment,
The seals wailed loud on Holy Isle the day you heard the news.

Wailing with them, your voices fused,
A deep, loud heartrending lament,
A moment you could not choose.

As time’s bell tolled no one could be in your shoes,
The searing pain would not relent,
The seals wailed loud on Holy Isle the day you heard the news.

You must go home, this was no ruse,
Firm now was your intent,
The seals wailed loud on Holy Isle the day you heard the news,
A moment you could not choose.
