Elegy Lyrics - Alphaville

he is sitting on a hill 

a vapid night is crawling through the vale 

the trees are fangs of transiency 

the demons forge hammers and nails 

he will travel all the ways 

that lead to the unknown lands 

time has distorted his view 

an amen in his due 

he is gazing at the skies 

without yearning in his eyes 

and he will follow the invisible trace 

when the sirens sing again... 

the spring is in the air, the silence in the skies 

the wind is in his hair, the moon is in his eyes 

the bats play on but he'll be gone 

before the world has left the night
