lyrics

In the beginning
The break of dawn
The clouds are falling
Waiting for the moment

O’er the first days of bloody red
The price of greed, mother said
Her pale green eyes gleaming
Dry summer days; the wish of the rain

There was a night of balance
A falling angel came to me
Painted with wine, troubador
A mass cried out in silent speech
A chance with which thee with I kiss
Oh nightingale of nitrous
Through East came bright a rising mist
Sunrise with night; the wish of the rain

Three times the cloud was lost alone
Two times all was lost
One day, we stand before the one
who conspired, asleep in the fire

North are the days you fly in the field
South are the years you gave to the ground
East of a storm you ran from disdain
West over the gate of the golden sea!

Wind of the desert
Turning me ‘round in thy wake
The cloud is still lost
The stars are all gone
The breath of the apple breathes on and on...
