I fled the battling for peace at the dying of the light At the fall of evening and her stars For this world keeps waxing, and t'is her right To live through her tales and fight all of her wars
The noise of tomorrow lulled me to sleep Yet her desperate cries too pursued their way And summoned my conscience out of the misty deep The yoke of tomorrow is left weightless at the summit of her play
In the dead of that night, the dark was set ablaze When a great fire trembled up future's mighty monument But it bore no meaning at that place For it leaves all in ashes and is content
Fire turns to ashes, ashes to dust And hence I thought all evil had shed away But a fierce wind set in, and in its hands I trust The remnants of my hopes, my love slightly lost along the way
Storms are fragile under the weight of immortality Time's undying and all will turn to nothingness For the storm; it came and went and left her soul to me An empty soul, deprived of all her dreams and idleness
Dawn blew her trumpet for the heraldry of morn The battle for peace was fought and won, and hence The noise of tomorrow was left into the hands of empty scorn And all the rest was utter silence
