I)
we don't have many days left
the sun is fading out,
leaving everyone in complete
darkness we don't have many days left
the cold leaves the shadows,
every little creature is left out
freezing II) has it really been so long
since our last visit?
you have grown, you are older:
do you even remember us,
causing trouble all day
and all night?
be good, my sweet child, remember:
life can feel good, amazing even,
nothing can however stop us
from thinking the exact opposite.
remember the times the sun was rising
early, every single morning.
the night that used to fall asleep
is never going to rest.

a g a i n III)
the sun sets - the day rests.
is everything prepared?
we will prevail, deep down,
enlightened and determined.
never leaving back out,
to the shadows of our past. look - the moon is rising!
for one final time,
so it's eternal light can
forever shine on your pretty smile.
