Sic Transit Gloria - Frida Hyvönen

I’m older than the moon

And twice as wise

But I keep myself together

As I make way through this crowd

For if I would breathe out

I would sweep everyone of there high, high heels

Now won’t you please use me for my soul is grand

My brain’s partly?

And I’m excellent in bed

Let’s forget about tomorrow and the price upon my head

Let’s forget

And let us dance

All stiff and athletic

Over us the moon surrounded with stars

The consequent ascetics

Stand out so young, so fresh and modern

Next to the fading glory of all things living

Things in the world

You divide them in three

It’s the light

It’s the dark

It’s what comes in between

My love I’m afraid we belong to the latter

Destined to dwell in the midst of all matter

Days are like islands

And nights are like oceans

Fortune and fame come and go with the tide

As there’s virtue and vice

And love and denial and regret

And here we dance

All stiff and athletic

Over us the moon surrounded with stars

The consequent ascetics

Stand out so young, so fresh and modern

Next to the fading glory of all things living
