Ii win back ii
In the brief transit of life
Pray god not to see
The dark face of time
Keep wide open the window
See the fresh twilight
And ivory throne of vast blue
Flooded with moon's kisses
Between the rocks of destiny
The heartmay be pressed
May the voices shaken
May the conscience rebel
The mindmay perturb
Bones may be in despair
Brocken into pieces
Dreams may shatter
To melt away in solitude
Time may mock at
With all falsehood
May everything standstill around
Still raise the spirit inside
Take a chance to inhale
The green breath to smile
Between birth and dying
Give eyes to the time
Light many lamps tosoar
High against mortal darkness
Win back the life
With exalted heart again
