The River

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
 ♪
 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

 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 sounds, 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
