Plains Of Dawn |
«I'm here now, by your side"Sheltered from the cold, a soldier guards a boy. |
Clocks are cutting as times pass by their pain |
(bringing release through the book on his knees) |
(keep trying, keep trying, keep dying inside) |
«Hush now little child, it’s time to say goodnight. |
Find rest in my lullaby this night |
I’ll still be here when the nightmists draw near» |
(blind figures controlling his life) |
(keep falling, keep falling, keep falling down now) |
«Have faith my son — reach for my hand and I’ll walk with you till the sun |
goes down. |
Follow me now, we will meet again in your land. |
(have faith my son) Now I’ll lead you home.» |
Opening stillness, reaching through illness. |
They walk in nightmist. |
«Now, we meet again. |
I’m so close to you now. |
Again we laugh.» |
Where shallow waters reach for unknown mystic shores |
they gaze at the horizon and smile |
«Behold my son — reach for the vision that fills your mind, just let go and |
run. |
Follow the path that was meant for you long ago. |
(behold my son) And |
cross the plains of dawn.» |
Wordless questions, tearful confessions. |
They meet at last now, when it is time to go separate ways |
(fading pages) They have touched through ages. |
«Remember me my son, it’s time to say… goodbye. |
I’ll free you from your prison — now go! |
You’re free now, the wave meets the shore!» |
(keep running, keep running, keep running home kid) |
(winning a war made him lose evermore) |
«Farewell my son — the tubes that were straining you to a death within life |
are gone. |
Wait for us, I and your mother will cherish you my son. |
I cry as |
I’m watching you run across plains of dawn.» |
…and so through that evening a soldier is leaving his son once again |
and a war has been lost… |
Forlorn he is reeling, unmendably kneeling. |
But fate leaves no choice: now he must close the book! |
