INTO THE DEEP NIGHT
My heart is sinking into the deep night Darkness is rushing over me My heart is sinking into the deep night
We are the singing stars We sing with our light We are the firebirds We fly all over the sky And our light is a voice
How will I start my song In the falling blue night I will sit down and start singing
My friend, it is an immense world We are travelling through On the rays of the moon
