on the day the rebels go away
the echo of their song upon the air
on the day the rebels go away
i lost you too, self at once

be it, as it is with me
the darkness that surrenders to the light
and gives it back again
as it is with me
the turning of the days into nights
the dawn of morning that starts at dusk
the inner love the outer hate
that won't leave you alone
as it is with me, the neverending cup

be it, as it is with me
always to the edges of the story
the light that surrenders to the night
as it is with me
the weight of my name on my shoulders
living in the halflight in need of the dark
the bitter quarrel the loyal fight
that never leaves you done
as it is with me, the endless song
