Nocturnal Skies

The day is facing its end and the night rises from the foggy valleys
The wind rushes through the tops of the swaying trees
To lose itself in the vastness of the eternal horizon.

But in this night, everything that so far just happened in his dreams
Becomes real.

The sparse light of a candle illuminates the chamber and like every night
He is deeply absorbed in his volumes of forgotten lore to dive into other worlds
Together with his heroes he sails the seven seas, climbs the highest mountains
On the search for infinite glory.

Clouds give way to his path the path only he is able to walk
If you take a look at the stars, then trust your eyes ‘cause you will see him
He's the one who walks the nocturnal skies.

Led by an invisible hand he runs out into the nocturnal world
Step by step his feet carry him without knowing any destination
The moon throws bizarre shadows onto earth
And a lonely hawk glides above his head
How much he wishes to stare at the world from above
Before having ended this thought he suddenly rises towards the skies.

The voyage leads him over the sleeping town
Passing streets, towers and houses
The scant light of the lanterns draws blurred pictures onto the plaster
Weightlessly gliding through time and space
Never before he felt surrounded by such deep safety and freedom
He does not look back and walks further and further into infinity.

But in this night, everything that so far just happened in his dreams
Becomes real.
