Once upon a time on this planet

A sudden cry broke the peaceful silence

As an old man stood on the edge of the world

Staring with tired eyes into the endless sky



There's a secret, and with regret

He looks eastwards, there where the sunrise starts

Since aeons the faith lived on, one day they will come from outer space

With an ardent look, he's awaiting them, the ancestors of a lost race



And soon his longing will be rewarded

A giant arrow will tear heaven apart

Unseen creatures coming down

And just mysteries are left for those who came as the next



There's a secret, and with regret

He looks eastwards, there where the sunrise starts



Some centuries later, chaos rules in nature, the old man died long ago

The ancient tradition's wiped out by the arrogance of mankind



One day a flash will point at the grave,

Another old man will go there again

He'll hear the weeping from inside the grave

While they're waiting for a new sign of the strangers



Smash the secrets, feel no regrets

Oh see how nice, this last sunrise



Smash all secrets, feel no regrets

Oh see how nice, this last sunrise
