Don't kindle the lamp, beloved,
not today..
It casts tall shadows on the wall
and makes us seem farther away.
Sit beside me, let me fathom the darkness of your eyes tonight
I pray!
Oh but it's threatening us, my love,
the Sun..
Says there won't be a dawn to this night
it will forever drown itself in the ocean.
For another moment of light in our lives, I'll burn down all timber
of reason!
The Sun is a rotten old fool, beloved,
loveless soul..
too drunk on its strength, it knows not
the power of your afterglow.
Let the darkest night befall, we'll still have the shimmer of memories
of yore!
