Sundown - Sirenia

From a distance

I can see you descend

Like golden grains of sand

A weeping sun is descending

And the moon now ascending here

In these cold winterlands

I’ve been strolling through the pouring rain

In search of better days

I’ve been strolling down the darkest of lanes

Just to find it’s all in vain

The sundown gives birth to another night

As the moon comes crawling across the sky

My soul feels cold and my heart is tired

I’m burning inside, can’t stop the flames, the fire

From a distance

I can see you pretend

That your life’s on the mend

A thousand riverines weeping

And a silvermoon sweeping swift

Across forsaken lands

I’ve been crawling on my knees and hands

I’ve watched all suns descend

I’ve been dreaming some day, I’ll ascend

Before the bitter end
