Oneira

It’s the last golden summer night
His glance is caught by the frozen light
He knows there is the dark to come
His hidden hope is already gone

To escape this conflict just in time, he gave the sun its endless shine
Now blood is running through his heart, indifference is tearing him apart

He knows he will remain alone
No single angel has been born

At a lonely point at night, he gathers all the stars
All the humans that he raised:
A memory’s recall
There was a young light once:
A thought and the Emperor of the Sun
(He is the Emperor of the Sun)
But now eternity has come

It’s the last hidden memory:
A child lies dead below the trees
He knew the war would break his mind
His last will is already signed

Escaping hell for one more night, but retreating forced another fight
Blood was running through his hands, fear shattered him, he couldn’t stand

He knew he would remain alone
His love drowned in the firestorm

At a lonely point at night, he gathers all the stars
All the sorrow that he caused:
A memory’s recall
There was a young light once:
A life and the Emperor of the Sun
(He was the Emperor of the Sun)
But now eternity has come

At a lonely point at night, we gather all the stars
All the pathways that we take
The splices that we make
There is a young light now:
A choice and the Emperors of the Sun
(We are the Emperors of the Sun)
We know eternity will come
