Langennut valo [English translation]

Once, in time's shoulder

A spring's light shone on us

Over a meadow, dew, we ran

Hid in dark vales

Once, in time's shoulder

Winds, clouds our people

That carried thoughts noble

Deep rivers secret.

Beyond the lightwall

Out of speed's reach

Abides the emptiness common for us

Gray rooms of reality,

Abandoned farms and roads of iron,

All this cold that can reach us.

Spring, somewhere, you there

hear the heavy water's sound

Wait the colours, scents return,

Walk the yard angrily.

But the Spring speaks not,

herbs, flowers wither to yesterday,

You think of the End of all,

Autumn and dark distances

On the gate of the light wall

Faces pounded unto metal

In their expression calmness unending

Those expressions bronzen

Unchanging and strange

Show the horror that never ends.

But it is a dream, just a dream,

All is a dream here, far away,

Beyond all comfort

Benighted of beauty's shores

But it is a dream, just a dream,

All is a dream here, far away,

Beyond all comfort

Benighted of beauty's shores

Yea as the council's elders

wished to experiment on me

I took the assignment and vanished

On the prow of their finest ship
