Those small lips Sing a distant folksong The flickering life of the moon A forgotten part of a hidden time The silently sleeping waters On a soundless night Unable to move Warmth surrounding my trembling shoulders As if quietly following Fragments of thoughts Our hands overlapping Connected to tomorrow Even if a time of loss comes Down the road I walk In my heart I'll hold the bond I want to protect Shouldering this sad fate Clad in the lonely moonlight Releasing echoing lives into the sky A howl rings in my ears On a tense night The hands of the clock mark eternity Signaling the beginning All life Living on this land Thinks of tomorrow Leaving something behind The darkness blocks my path Even if the unravelling threads try to lead me astray In my heart I hold the bond I face And I'll arrive at the future Moonlight is eternal Shining on the echoing lives
