Reconciliation with destiny

Is my elixir of life

Sealed for ever is my fate

Listing is my vessel of hope

The tide of time

Catapults me into flame

Of fame and glory



Its ebb will extinguish the fire

The air is filled with fragrance

Of pine and cherry

The spring is also nigh

The negritude of winter

Will melt and disappear

In summer let the garden

Of life, bloom and sprout

Your unchiseled charm and splendour

Consigned and buried

Under heap and mound

In your warm bed of memory

Let me live eternally, peacefully

Only, if inevitable, wake me up

By lighting a candle of love

On the day thou knowest best

In the eight month of the year

You are'nt mine

Was the only chime

That would rent the air

Draining me into abyss of darkness

But stare today into the glow

Of the candle, thou lightest

Thy shall find me smiling

For thou are mine

You always were, you will always be

Reconciliation with destiny

Is my elixir of life

Sealed for ever is my fate

Listing is my vessel of hope

The tide of time

Catapults me into flame

Of fame and glory

Its ebb will extinguish the fire

The air is filled with fragrance

Of pine and cherry

The spring is also nigh

The negritude of winter

Will melt and disappear

In summer let the garden

Of life, bloom and sprout

Your unchiseled charm and splendour

Consigned and buried

Under heap and mound

In your warm bed of memory

Let me live eternally, peacefully

Only, if inevitable, wake me up

By lighting a candle of love

On the day thou knowest best

In the eight month of the year

You are'nt mine

Was the only chime

That would rent the air

Draining me into abyss of darkness

But stare today into the glow

Of the candle, thou lightest

Thy shall find me smiling

For thou are mine

You always were, you will always be
