Sirenia - Sundown lyrics

From a distance I can see you descend Like golden grains of sand A weeping sun is descending And the moon now ascending here In these cold winterlands I've been strolling through the pouring rain In search of better days I've been strolling down the darkest of lanes Just to find it's all in vain The sundown gives birth to another night As the moon comes crawling across the sky My soul feels cold and my heart is tired I'm burning inside, can't stop the flames, the fire From a distance I can see you pretend That your life's on the mend A thousand riverines weeping And a silvermoon sweeping swift Across forsaken lands I've been crawling on my knees and hands I've watched all suns descend I've been dreaming some day, I'll ascend Before the bitter end
