[ Blind are my eyes
Black is all I've ever know
As I pass through streams of darkness,
The whisper of the groundwater leaves.
Stones that I feel, covered of eternal down...
Unchanging lonely friends of my own...
But the dead times die ]
Shadows moving
On the rocks spread the shading
And they can feel the fire burning
Truth hiding...
[ In the depth souls are only shadows
Sounds are only echoes ]
Puppets ride the horizon
Reality is illusion
The dark rose suddenly upon
Reality was illusion
[ Grasps him violently, throws him out.
Benighted now, he cannot see the roundabout.
He suffers as the sun rises for him.
The overshadowed cannot see the gleam.
Truth rising... Truth rising
Blinds him with its shining, its glow is nerver fading ]
