{intimate acoustic guitar arpeggios} {soft wooden flute melody rolls in} (mmm-hmmm) Soul...
a sky stretched over a sad staircase
Like a silver echo.
Through what magical labyrinth Do the birds
fly in you?
{soft mandolin tremolo entrance} Days with a face of death
and a fleeting smile
Time... smoky greyhound! How close...
how far... {plaintive flute answers vocal} I try to escape… I can’t
from you. I am firmly rooted to the blossom and the thorns
Like a bell
to the sky.
{mandolin and guitar intertwine} Soul...
a sky stretched over a sad staircase
Like a silver echo.
Through what magical labyrinth Do the birds
fly in you? {soaring classic choir harmony joins} I write…
but the letter freezes… I
sing…
but the sounds perish…
In the ashes, longing seeks eternity and life.
{flute and mandolin
duet} Soul...
a sky stretched over a sad staircase
Like a silver echo.
Through what magical labyrinth Do the birds
fly in you?
{full choir and driving acoustic instruments}
(fly in you...) (silver echo...) {instruments slowly fade out one by
one} {final solo flute note}
