Time Is the Fire

Skies above the endless seas

Engulf horizons till they disappear

At a sign a ship shaking its masts

Passes by like a fortress floating on wastelands

Flocks of cranes sail to the skies

Where never ending paths arise

Neath the blunt and timid sun

Skies above the endless seas

The ship, the ocean, the days are gone

Likewise lives and youth pass by

They pass away, like a lie

Likewise lives and youth pass by

And die

Skies full of stars above endless seas

Horizons till they disappear

An enormous ship shaking its masts

Passes by like a floating keep

Skies above the endless seas

The ship, the ocean, the days are gone

But till I'm not six feet underground

My angels bow to my mourning sound

And sing along my weeping, over and over again

Likewise lives and youth pass by

They pass away, like a lie

But till I’m not six feet underground

My angels, bow to my mourning sound

And sing along my weeping, over and over

With the passion of a new born lover

Again

And then, I will look behind to the world

Like those who don’t have much to tell (each other)

When they can’t say what they want

In the shadow of these ancient walls

In their silence, I lay down to rest

In the same silence that swallowed the travelers

Who fell asleep in time

Who are now forgotten by æons

Time is the water in which we drown

Time is the fire in which we burn

Likewise lives and youth pass by

They pass away, like a lie

Likewise lives and youth pass by

And die

Time is the water in which we drown

Time is the fire in which we burn
