Lyrics

The sun is sleeping quietly

The sun is peacefully resting.

Once upon a century

This event occurred once in a century.

Wistful oceans calm and red

Calm and red oceans with a sense of longing.

Ardent caresses laid to rest

Passionate caresses have come to an end.


For my dreams I hold my life

I prioritize my dreams over my life.

For wishes I behold my night

My night is dedicated to holding onto wishes.

The truth at the end of time

The ultimate truth exists at the end of time.

Losing faith makes a crime

Losing faith is considered a crime.


I wish for this night-time

Expressing a desire for this particular night-time.

To last for a lifetime

Hoping for this night to last a lifetime.

The darkness around me

Surrounded by darkness.

Shores of a solar sea

Imagery of a solar sea shore.


Oh how I wish to go down with the sun

Expressing a desire to end with the setting sun.

Sleeping

Sleeping.

Weeping

Weeping.

With you

With a significant other.


Sorrow has a human heart

Sorrow is a part of human emotions.

From my god it will depart

This sorrow will eventually leave the speaker's heart.

I'd sail before a thousand moons

Expressing a willingness to explore before a thousand moons.

Never finding where to go

Feeling lost without a clear direction.


Two hundred twenty-two days of light

Desiring 222 days of light, sought by a night.

Will be desired by a night

The poet wishes for a moment in the play until words run out.

A moment for the poet's play

A moment for poetic expression.

Until there's nothing left to say

Until there is nothing more to say.


I wish for this night-time

Reiterating the wish for this night-time.

To last for a lifetime

Hoping for the night to be everlasting.

The darkness around me

Darkness surrounds the speaker.

Shores of a solar sea

Imagery of shores in a solar sea.


Oh how I wish to go down with the sun

Expressing the desire to end with the sun once again.

Sleeping

Sleeping.

Weeping

Weeping.

With you

With a significant other.


I wish for this night-time

Reiterating the wish for this night-time.

To last for a lifetime

Hoping for the night to be everlasting.

The darkness around me

Darkness surrounds the speaker.

Shores of a solar sea

Imagery of shores in a solar sea.


Oh how I wish to go down with the sun

Expressing the desire to end with the sun once again.

Sleeping

Sleeping.

Weeping

Weeping.

With you

With a significant other.
