Somniare
Somniare
At the gates of the city, my grandfather
Shows me the buildings, some
Thousands of years old. Once symbols for mankind
They are crumbling into ruin
See how the dark clouds rush past
Never bringing rain.
I am a child in that city
An evil spirit takes root in the darkness
I wait in the high grass, outside the cathedral
The emperor is plotting destruction
Look for a wise man, to explain these symbols, who will
Show you the path to follow
A girl helps me reconstruct the tower
Brick by brick, I make my way over the toppling beams
To outrun the fate that lies in store
Her father knows the hidden places,
What lies beyond the wall, an ocean maybe
A dark wilderness
