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 passing |
|
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:] |
