Oh, spawning sun,
Bring forth your defiled hearth
Unfurl the narcissism
Enslaved by lucid visions
By the gloomy sea you roam
In shrouding veil of dusk you sought
So in forms of evening mist I shall come
But not to set you free
Oh, burning sun,
Urn us to incineration
Through the break of day scorch your way
But you inherit nothing
Then sunk into the ocean
Under the relentless waves
In escaping daylight
You are in all-consuming dark
The black of night corrupts the love
Foul things reach out for blood
All we find is black despair
It drains all the strength to fight
Lost in the shadow lap
Mere remnants of the distant past
Distrust killed all the kindness
As we bear the grim longing
As we bring the night closer
It`s far easier to be cruel
Erosion of the mind
Seems to be enough to make us blind
A tale of marred souls fallen down
Nevermore shall we walk together
Under the plaintive sky
A place that took our dreams away
Where silence rules forever
And if you ever dare to shine
I will be long since gone
Cast down thy gloomy shadows
Thrust me into the endless night
And benight this last day
Oh, dying sun,
Deceive what once was caressed
Only the defeat remains
Rebirth through devastation
Heed to the ghosts that still dwell in the soul
Far away from the world's betrayals, far away from the rays of light
In escaping daylight we are one with the greatest yearning
In all-consuming dark we are none but a broken promise
