Death shrinks
Like shadows at noon
Hiding under your shoes
Sun's making your eyes shine
Flooding your front
Of beauty, of sweat.

Yet it's almost there
Vespertine, Vespertine.

At dusk
When she might be gone
Or didn't even come
You'll see the gloom stretch on the tiles
And dark titans scare you to death
Just trampling on you.

Vespertine, Vespertine
Trampling on you
Vespertine.

Sun's making her eyes shine
Flooding her front
Of beauty and sweat
But when she'll be back
Vespertine
When she will be back
We will all be dead.
