Sleeping Sun (4 Ballads of the Eclipse)

The sun is sleeping quietly, once upon a century. Wistful oceans calm and red, ardent caresses laid to rest. For my dreams I hold my life, for wishes I behold my nights. The truth at the end of time, losing faith makes a crime. I wish for this night time to last for a lifetime. The darkness around me, shores of a solar sea. Oh how I wish to go down with the sun. Sleeping, weeping with you. Sorrow has a human heart, from my God it will depart. I'd sail before a thousand moons, never finding where to go. 222 days of light will be desired by a night. A moment for the poet's play until there's nothing left to say. I wish for this night time to last for a lifetime. The darkness around me, shores of a solar sea. Oh how I wish to go down with the sun. Sleeping, weeping with you...

We're walking in the air We're floating in the moonlit sky The people far below are sleeping as we fly I'm holding very tight I'm riding in the midnight blue I'm finding I can fly so high above with you Far across the world The villages go by like trees The rivers and the hills The forests and the streams Children gaze open mouth Taken by surprise Nobody down below believes their eyes We're surfing in the air We're swimming in the frozen sky We're drifting over icy Mountains floating by Suddenly swooping low on an ocean deep Arousing of a mighty monster from its sleep We're walking in the air We're floating in the midnight sky And everyone who sees us greets us as we fly

All those beautiful people, I want to have them all. All those porcelain models, if only I could make them fall. Be my heart, a well of love, flowing free so far above. A wintry eve, once upon a tale. An Ugly Duckling lost in a verse of a sparrows carol, dreaming the stars. Be my heart, a well of love, flowing free so far above. In my world love is for poets, never the famous balcony scene. Just a dying faith on the Heaven's gate. Crystal pond awaits the lorn, tonight another morn for the lonely one is born.

An angel face smiles to me under a headline of tragedy, that smile used to give me warmth. Farewell, no words to say, beside the cross on your grave, and those forever burning candles. Needed elsewhere, to remind us of the shortness of our time. Tears laid for them! Tears of love and tears of fear. Bury my dreams, dig up my sorrows Oh, Lord why the angels fall first? Not relieved by thoughts of Shangri-La, nor enlightened by the lessons of Christ. I'll never understand the meaning of the right. Ignorance lead me into the light. Needed elsewhere, to remind us of the shortness of our time. Tears laid for them! Tears of love and tears of fear. Bury my dreams, dig up my sorrows Oh, Lord why the angels fall first? Sing me a song of your beauty and of your kingdom. Let the melodies of your harps caress those whom we still need. Yesterday we shook hands, my friend. Today a moonbeam lightens my path, my guardian.
