lyrics

Watch, mortals, tempests are away!
Dark curtain went apart revealing
The deep blue chasm filled with the light
Uprising from beyond horizons

There always were thousands wise men
Trying to solve an old enigma
Of flooding tears for those who`d gone
From us to join Lux Aeternam...


I had a dream - I dared to tread where my beloved had passed
Away from shining of the day...

It felt like brightly-painted glass`d been broken through into the blind dark

And for a moment couldn`t I see, neither hear and breathe,
All of my senses faded off - I`d fear if I could fear,
I would scream just if I had a voice to scream,
I would flee if I still had command of what remain`d of me

But then
I had been blown with icy winds
Through this foul breach
back to the midday world again
Awake, alive, but almost blind -
I only saw the rimed and frigid plains of disbelief
To trudge
for years and years to come

This aimless pilgrimage
had ended near the menace whirl,
from where obscure torrents whizzed
Alikes of me stood there
Like hopeless sentinels

Then one of us -
A lady of the art
Prevailed where the desperated poets failed
As she had managed to discern our own reflections
Among delusions wreathing therein...

And as she warded off the mirror-mares, the purified whirl,
Gave birth to lucid fountain dashing skywards
No blizzard stood its holy warmth

Put down your shields, exhausted sentinels,
Lift up your visors, feel no shame for tears
As they will soon dry out in the rising sun
Put down your armour - the storms are gone!
the storms are gone,

Watch, mortals, tempests are away!
Dark curtain went apart revealing
The deep blue chasm filled with the light
Uprising from beyond horizons
