Wake Before The Dying Sun

So many seasons
Passed by in grief
A missing piece
In a family of four

A sun of noon, though
Takes him back
It was so hard to expect
If it's real or not
I cannot tell

What does it mean you cannot stay?
I have been waiting for this day
No one but God knows for how long
So many times I felt you gone

And now I see you go again
But there's no rifle in your hand
A wound is all you took back home
A wound that took you away from me

Come and
Sit with me
A long journey must have been
Take off that cape that hides your shape
We don't have long
I don't want him to wait
So wish me well, my path's ahead
I don't belong here anymore

Your eyes saw me
Grow and leave
But now you have to let me go
Hold me one last time

Let me
See you
Touch your skin
So pale and cold

Tell me
What was
Like to be
So far from home

Promise me
That this dream
Will never break
That you'll be fine

But I
Realize
You just have come
To say goodbye

Questo sogno non ritornerà
Colui che agogno presto se ne andrà
Il signore del mondo aspetterà
Ancora un momento alla soglia dell'aldilà
Il figlio che ho avuto e lui mai avrà

Empty I was until
He brought you here
He has to be gone
Without you, my son
Too many wished for your return
My boots leave no mark
Breath does not fog up
Of life itself
I don't feel the spark
But in the dying sun
The last thing I thought of
Was you

I beg you
Stay
Please
Don't go away
Like that day it kills me seeing you go

Sunset has come
To darken my home
But I
Realize
I couldn't ask for more

My chance
Was unique
A few moments
Just to speak
I was trying
To buy time
When it was meant as a gift

Now that
I understand
There's no reason
To cry and yell
You will never bear a child
But you let a mother say goodbye
