The courtesan of time

At last the spring has come

And washed away the pure, white snow

It's time they stand and start the show

When cherry blossoms begin to frown

 

Numbed down sandness and despair

She takes a deep breath of air

The infinite curse closing the wounds

That many others trampled on.

 

With the dignity of a mighty god

With the walk of an angel

With the body of a demon lord

With the soul of a woman in love

 

The servants that were once forgotten

Enchanting spells, awakening the rotten

Gather the fire, air, earth and water

And sow the clothes for their beloved

 

The god of life himself is dressing her

The god of death is blessing her

The underworld prepared her jewelry

The heaven braids her hair with mysteries.

 

She finally walks among us all

Stripping away the sadness wall

That numbed so many of us

As the procession takes its course

All the dignity and remorse

She breathes upon all of those

And cleans what's haunting all of us.

 

As dignified as she may be

She must remain a memory

For we, as humans, all forget

The love, the hate and the regret.

 

The ravens gather all around her words

The road to the holy mountain opens up

And all the living and the dead

Assemble all the feelings at her feet

To walk her on her final trip,

To strip her of her first hearbeat

To bring her home and put her back to sleep

 

From ancient times a prophecy stood straight

Telling about the king's beautiful maiden

Who will awaken, fight, and descend

Only when the winter ends

To cure all the unspoken tales

That humans carry with themselves.

 

While stepping on the gravestones of us all

She came again and broke the spells

And pleaded for forgiveness in our name

All those who wish to never be the same.

As we stand gathered in sadness and in awe

She passes, gently stepping on our world,

Goes bavk to sleep in the old mountain

The courtesan of time, who we have all forgotten.
