Old is my moon - Circle is complete

Long has been the way - The day is giving in

The dusk is thickening, cold engulfs the shore

I hear across the stream as Charon blows the horn

One more summer I ask for, I crave

One more autumn just to finish my song



Grant me this wish, bestow this gift

Ye noble gods I pray

When all is done, I'll go down with the sun

And welcome the twilight that falls



I know its in vain

For it's my time

There is no delay

Last light will hide



Hearken now to the trumpet call

As it echoes in the dark (whirls through the night)

Time has come to say the farewells

Step down into the shades



I scrape the sand that's running out, slipping away

Dripping now through this weary hands

Vanishing into thin air

All I ask is one more day to redeem it all

Then gladly I will pass and welcome the silent world



With no sound, upon the calm stream

The black boat moves, like mist on the waves



Slowly Charon rows, slowly sky turns

Stars fade away, we enter the shades



But a wanderer I am on the heaths of night

On this shore now ends my prolonged path

I am home at last

Tonight my dust is being gathered here

And brought before my father

Set before his throne, I am home at last
