lyrics
The colors of the dying sun linger among the clouds,
before they bleed and streak into the nighttime’s gloom.
As the star falls and a frail dusk exhumes from its light,
I drop onto my knees and entreat the violet sky.
The winter wind mocks my pleas by changing its direction again;
the stretching shadows melt into a sea that drowns
the earth in darkness, starving the plants and attacking my vision.
It leaves me bereaved; a severed trunk among the trees,
mourning a point of light that will outlive my cries for a torpid world.
Traveling in the midnight fog, I pass beneath a thousand false suns
that listlessly control my movements, like the lazy hand of god.
before they bleed and streak into the nighttime’s gloom.
As the star falls and a frail dusk exhumes from its light,
I drop onto my knees and entreat the violet sky.
The winter wind mocks my pleas by changing its direction again;
the stretching shadows melt into a sea that drowns
the earth in darkness, starving the plants and attacking my vision.
It leaves me bereaved; a severed trunk among the trees,
mourning a point of light that will outlive my cries for a torpid world.
Traveling in the midnight fog, I pass beneath a thousand false suns
that listlessly control my movements, like the lazy hand of god.
