One Day Before

Silently the sundown sets
Flashing with green beyond the waves
And I see the skies fall
Beneath the waters high
Deep beyond the dawn
I see the midnight rising 
Before the pines in white
Far above the pale horizon

We fall and rise beyond the dawn

Underneath the end of the world
For another life we live in strife
To embrace one day before we all
Will found the end in one last fall
And I see the dreams widening still
Before an early hour touches the sky
As tomorrow is veiled unseen
I dream of paradise dwelling in hell
Before midnight embraces pale dawn
I will sail to the far lost shores of ever dales
I see the sea of eternity deep
Walk in the forest, a woodland realm
I lose my path with a dropped tear
A song so sweet
An elven lullaby sings me to sleep
Under the leaves I dream
Of kingdom unseen
Dwelling in a story so dear
And live it real before the fall
Of silver bloom dawn
A song so sweet
Luring flute of the king
Slowly sings me to sleep
To live one day real 
Before the dawn is revealed beneath
