Lyrics of Of Stillness and Solitude - Downfall Of Gaia

Of Stillness and Solitude (original)

Time is relentless and unbeatable in it’s majestety
As time goes by, life will be covered with the loss of the people you once loved
No one is safe from losing someone close
…you will become my flesh.
you will be my shadow.
you will always be by my
side…
Entzündet den Schleier der Vergangenheit
Denn Unerreichbar scheint, was einmal war so nah
Mit der Erinnerung spottend und verhöhnend vor unserem Angesicht
Der Tanz in unserer Asche
Jedoch bietet das Morgen stets Zuversicht
Denn Unbekanntes dient dem Quell der Hoffnung
Und so bleibt schwach glimmendes Licht die treibende Kraft
Zeiten des Banges gelten als Zeiten des Leidens
Mein Königreich ist zerfallen und der Thron schon längst gestürzt
Drum halte ich den Atem, lasse los, lasse ab von dir
Der Wunsch jedoch, es sei nur ein Traum
Die Tage haben mich anderes gelehrt
Bleiben wir doch immer nur Sklaven der Zeit
Schreie und Worte verblassen in Stille
So entreißt deine Hand der meinigen
Das Licht erlischt
Sind wir begraben unter der Vergänglichkeit

(translation)

Time is relentless and unbeatable in it's majesty
As time goes by, life will be covered with the loss of the people you once loved
No one is safe from losing someone close
…you will become my flesh.
you will be my shadow.
you will always be by my
side...
Ignites the veil of the past
Because what once was so close seems unreachable
With memory mocking and taunting before our face
The dance in our ashes
However, tomorrow always offers confidence
Because the unknown is the source of hope
And so faintly glowing light remains the driving force
Times of trepidation count as times of suffering
My kingdom fell apart and the throne fell long ago
That's why I hold my breath, let go, let go of you
The wish, however, that it was only a dream
The days have taught me otherwise
We always remain slaves of time
Screams and words fade into silence
So snatch your hand from mine
The light goes out
Are we buried under impermanence
