Time to stay alive

Outside of my window, fire is breathed by February We will sing our woes, they will become just a memory The strings will not fail, moonlit midnight turns to day There is no shadow without light, no darkness without a ray Do not laugh at my dreams - spring is close, so it seems Smoke on the road, no time for strife Perhaps here comes the long-awaited true perfection we strive. Time to stay alive. The shadowy faces fill the doorways I can see, The road was cruel, how much kinder could I be? The armour is bright, a trembling candle burns inside He will flourish the sword, as if he has already died And the moment will come, like a too loud drum When the oceans want us to dive Perhaps here comes the long-awaited true perfection we strive. Time to stay alive. Somewhere far in a tavern you are tossing a deck of cards Heal my wounds with a song the way they do it sweet-hearted bards When my hopes were burnt, leaving only a frozen trace Only new songs of yours will bring back the light’s embrace. Do not tear my strings, you are not the Lord of the rings Whatever you seek to contrive Perhaps here comes the long-awaited true perfection we strive. Time to stay alive.
