Sleep of Eternity Lyrics

”And plight will change my perspective
In a putrid awakening, oh morning clouds...
All my thoughts are turning into dreams
Like the dream of Faust (a landscape)
In a nightmare descending to reality

I can’t awake from this dream
Divine beauty takes me away
They carry me to the funeral
Of love, lost in a sleep, a sleep
Sleep of eternity, into eternity

Pleasant is this journey, where I am….
Still, I can’t dream myself to reality
And, slowly, I follow the (l)anguish itself
To the graves of tomorrow…..”


”Deep the falling of the night,
Star holds sacred rank with star,
Lordly beams and twinklings bright
Glitter near and shine afar”
-Johann Wolfgang von Goethe / Faust II Act One
