Canto II
Arcane Sun Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Beauty... why had I been before?. The metallic glowing blue, provoked
Memories long dormant and the deep red clouds flowed with the elegance of
A queen. I was so far, yet the ambiance was so strong and I could feel my
Soul trying... Trying to break free from this restricting mortal vest.
Soon my spirit flies through the night sky, unrestricted... free, like sand
Flowing through my fingers. Here I sense real peace, sinking into the
Clouds, I can forget the old world and despair no more. Sunrise brought a
Withered soul. Here I sense real peace, is this my paradise.
