"Through The Obscure Air"

Gracious spirits
You fly celestial
To the heavens, thence
transported
And extinguished in the mist. . .

Thus cruel is time
Moaning its bitter laws
Henceforth, voiceless silence
Will wring my despair from me...

Arrogantly
You deceived me
And by fear
You seek to make me mad!

But, already light
I can finally see
Through the obscure air. . .

You fly celestial
To the heavens, thence
Extinguished
In the mist. Take me

Arrogantly
You deceived me
And by fear
You seek to make me mad!

But, already light
I can finally see
Through the obscure air. . .
