Light has gone
I'll never see the sun again
My days will be as dark as my nights
A question burning in my mind:
What is left to do for the observer when he's blind?
The telescope was my obsession
I longed to see the wonders of the sky
Moon and sun and jupiter's companions
The milky way in all its splendour, stars numbered high
[bridge 1:]
I know the key to the book of creation
Wandering a dark maze are those who don't know
[chorus:]
All those years in shame and in torture
Self denial has clouded my ways
Verity comes as time is pa**ing
I'll fade away but my legacy stays
To illustrate all that surrounds us,
Unveil the glory of our maker's plan
This i thought to be my only mission
A different picture of the world, a blessing for mankind
[bridge 2:]
I tried to open their hearts and their eyes
A trial in rome swept my good hopes away
[chorus:]
Sight is gone
I'll never see the world again
My days will be as dark as my nights
Still a question in my mind:
What is left to do for me now, old of age and blind?
[bridge 1:]
[chorus:]
