In the heat of the night
|
I went to forever walk
|
in the obscure eternity.
|
Through woods and thickets,
|
over mountains and through valleys.
|
I left my body this evening
|
and forever I will now live.
|
Curious I travelled through an unknown land,
|
like an angel that had recently learned to fly.
|
I left my fear with my body
|
and with the ravens I flew
|
on a road, of bleeding clouds, that never seemed to end.
|
As the road suddenly divided
|
I heard the ravens whisper:
|
"Please come, fly with us! Please come, fly with us!"
|
Confused and insecure I stopped for a while
|
and beheld the ravens disappear.
|
Then I heard a voice from the other road:
|
"This is the path to the golden land!
|
Come my friend, take my hand!"
|
But an uncontrolled voice deep in my soul
|
screamed out: "I'll go my own way!"
|
and straight ahead I flew, to continue my voyage
|
and my search of the land of eternity.
|
On the road I chose to go
|
I saw no other men..., 'cause it was my own imagined road
|
and I was alone to face its destination.
|
What I saw around me were things I love.
|
Things that I built with my heart, deep in myself.
|
The temples I passed were my temples
|
and the queen that welcomed me was my queen.
|
My voyage was ended, and surrounded by the most
|
beautiful flowers I stood beholding my kingdom
|
I would rule in all the future to come.
|
As the dawn of the morning swept through my dreamland
|
to adorn the leafs of the golden trees with dew
|
and to bring me eternal light, I thought:
|
"A life is only worth living for a king..."
