Midnight Bird
Flight of Yearning: Eternal Tears of Sorrow's Midnight Bird
Lyrics
From the land of coldness,
Referring to a cold and desolate place
Under the Northern vault of the sky,
Under the expansive northern sky
Echoes the tune of yearning,
Resonates with a longing melody
For the times of the sun and light
Nostalgia for brighter times of sunlight
It's the bird of the midnight moment,
Symbolic midnight bird representing a moment
The swan of the brightest nights,
The swan symbolizing purity and beauty
And the song about her leaving,
Expressing a song about departure
While the snow covers the ground
Imagery of snow covering the ground
The brightest stars in darkness,
Bright stars illuminating the dark
Lighting up the stage of the night,
Metaphorical stage set by the night
On the soil so deeply frozen,
Describing deeply frozen soil
Lying the bird with wings so white
Depiction of a bird with white wings
Eyes full of the deepest sadness,
Eyes filled with profound sadness
Leaving now the final glance,
Final gaze before departure
On the landscape of her kingdom,
Reflection on the departing figure's kingdom
On the stage of the final dance
Symbolizing the concluding dance
This is the dance that I once learnt,
Recollection of a learned dance
The dance of the dying flames,
The dance symbolizing fading flames
The wistful song of the midnight bird,
Describing the wistful song of the midnight bird
Will my wings carry me once again
Questioning if wings will carry again
To the place so far I leave,
Leaving a distant place
To the land of the whitest nights,
Referring to a land with white nights
It's the time to say the last goodbye,
Acknowledging the time for a final farewell
I'll take my final flight
Expressing readiness for the last flight
