Out of the depths of nothing
In nobody's time
The earth was created
The first morning starts
Sun appears in the sky
Winds stroking waves
Evening shadows tumble down
Eclipse the sun of life
Herald the night
Burning lights arise
People take their places
Dance a merry round
They live without fear
Help each other in their way through life
Tomorrow we will see
They forget life's goal
Destroying their future
If you see
In the sky above the sun is black
You see
Up there in white the moon gets red
You fall
Down on your knees the earth is gone
So far
You will never see it again
If you see
In the sky above the sun is black
You see
Up there in white the moon gets red
You fall
Down on your knees the earth is gone
So far
You will never see it again
They came from darkness
Right into my light
Unknown fields of signs in my mind
They made contact with my consciousness
Told me words of other worlds
Come let us see - distance of feelings
Anxious dreams so near
I feel full of fear
I tell you about my experience
Trust in your power
Follow the light
It's so easy to find it around you
Guess where it comes from
Hold it in your hand
Check up your thinking throw off your doubts
Learn to swim in the sea of confidence
I'm understandig the meaning of their words
They told me when I was young
But the day will come
When the sun is black
And the moon is red
The earth is going down
See the day will come
Thousands of people run
Recalling former times
I know so well
The time is near
The light of darkness shines
Till the end of our time
From this day
