The Wheel of Sun Songtext

von Bathory

As the night divides the day : the dark will come to everyone
Fear will strike the hearts of all : the hearts of all both old and young
The fool may be carefree : unknown to him the troubles upon his masters brow
But death us all grasp with hand so cold to pull us down

And so the sun is low again : along horizon a crimson blaze
Soon the dusk us all embrace : the shadows long as life itself
But in the light of moon and stars above be sure yee everyone
Tomorrow new a day will dawn : none stop can the coarse of the wheel of sun

As sure as it is true once we all shall die : true it is not all men lives
A king shall fall : a child be born : the gods will take and gods will give
Before your time has come : do climb your mountainside on a morning fair
And smell the fragrance carried by the wind : let it blow freely through your hair

Damned he who sits still and curse woe the dark but will do not a thing
To light the torch : to shed the light : for him the dark is all within
Slowly across the sky the golden disc of light it tumbles on
The wheel of life and light : rebirth : the seasons : behold the wheel of the sun
