So much farther off than time could reach

Today it would be too late

So much despair he has bled

but will he wither away

No one knows that you must keep

this Old Man wide awake

'cause the nightmares will be released



Sweeter far than life I found that love was

Sweeter far than love to die as he did (J. L. Runeberg)



The stars fell from the nightsky

as he reached his hands in the air



As the sun peeked between the trees

the Old Man burst to tears
