Old is my moon
Circle is complete
Long has been the way
The day is giving in
The dusk is thickening
Cold engulfs the shore
I hear across the stream
As Charon blows the horn
One more summer
I ask for, I crave
One more autumn
Just to finish my song
Grant me this wish
Bestow this gift
Ye noble gods I pray
When all is done
I'll go down with the sun
And welcome the twilight that falls
I know it's in vain
For it's my time
There is no delay
Last light will hide
Hide!
Hearken now to the trumpet call
As it echoes in the dark
(Whirls through the night)
Time has come to say the farewells
Step down into the shades
(I scrape the sand)
I scrape the sand
That's running out
Slipping away
Dripping now through
This weary hands
Vanishing into thin air
All I ask is one more day
To redeem it all
Then gladly I will pass
And welcome the silent world
I know it's in vain
For it's my time
There is no delay
Last light will hide
Hide
Hearken now to the trumpet call
As it echoes in the dark
(Whirls through the night)
Time has come to say the farewells
Step down into the shades
With no sound
Upon the calm stream
The black boat moves
Like mist on the waves
Slowly Charon rows
Slowly sky turns
Stars fade away
We enter the shades
But a wanderer I am
On the heaths of night
On this shore now ends
Ends my prolonged path
I am home at last
Tonight my dust is being
Being gathered here
And brought before my father
Set before his throne
I am home at last
