Time is taken away,
Step by step it goes,
Born to an unknown day,
Nothing forever glows.

Light has left again
Into the deep sea,
Searching’s are in vain
For both you and me.

Live or let time die,
What is this hope for?
Do we know reasons why,
Longings drift afar.

I have waited long,
For minutes and hours,
Lonely is this song
When a shadow towers.

Beautiful morning bright
where have you been?
Now is here only night
and twilights between.

How shall this long be,
Plunge into the deep?
Will I the sunshine see,
Depress this dark sleep.
