Song Lyrics:

The sun and light of the day, and all the clouds that fly:
these I must farewell, and the turning wheel of the sky.
This time was mine for living, my life had barely begun--
still I gaze at the sun.
The ferryman bids me leave my house my hearth my land;
I feel Thanatos' dark frown, now I can hardly stand.
Heaviness comes over me; my thread of life now spun--
still I gaze at the sun.
Pheres says that he can count the days remaining as far too few;
his time down there will be all too long, sunlight is sweet for him too.
The sun and light of the day are fading by degree;
Darkness creeps over mine eyes, for death is close to me.
Charon calls more urgently: he says my time is done--
still I gaze at the sun.
