O Silence, O Melody
O Ephemeral Sign
If you could have gone on living
Upon the sand, upon this earth
The fragments of love that I gripped
Were altogether too fragile
And so they were bundled in the wind
Flying somewhere far, far away
From a world wrapped in sin
I heard a whale’s song…
O children, you who should embrace fate, embrace feeling
If you are led into the future, into the future
Thousands of voices turned towards a land of fantasy
Seizing the rudder and making their way
Thousands of voices, a ballad atop the sea of sand
Without showing my true tears
I stop in my tracks, from the loneliness
Though I loved everything seen
In the depths of my eyes
I… wanted… to… sing…
I learned
That the answer I sought
Had no sign, that it had to be derived
Once more, once more
A drowned-out melody
O children, you who should embrace fate, embrace feeling
If you are led into the future, into the future
Thousands of voices turned towards a land of fantasy
Seizing the rudder and making their way
Thousands of voices, a ballad atop the sea of sand
