The Break of Autumn

Catch the rainbow if you can It will always be ahead of you Years passing swifter than you ever thought Today will soon be behind you And the future remains out of reach Hunting the sun, setting at the horizon When shadows threat to swallow your weak soul The key of light, the solution of all I saw it clearly behind the veil of reality And as I dreamed the lilies white In the shade of a birch They withered in the frost of awakening Fiery the angels fell from the spires of my fortress of youth Silent explosions in my universe of pain Appease my hunger, defeat my solitude And let me follow where daydreams go When ambitions fall Watch the sky, there is proof of your transience The stars that saw the birth of four ancestors Shall watch our descendants last steps on earth So, unnoticed we will pass away, Like a flickering in the perpetual chaos The time bird rose from it's nest of bones And thrust it's beak in my eye With the beat of charging wings My transience was confirmed Time perhaps for a salutary sleep I still long for that silent land of dreams Where the flames expire, where the spark fades And hunger is born again
