Beyond the Horizon
I flied with my wings
Like Icarus in the sky
I travelled across
the seas and mountains
to discover You,
You, my precious Crown!
How beautiful!
you are my Land!
A Whole Kingdom
was shined to your Beauty
it seemed magestic
spreading your Grace
All over… the World…
I heard your Voice again
As a forgotten dream
glooming beyond the horizon
as an undimmed shade
through your bitter tears!
Oh what a broken bond!
nested in your heart
like a breezy wind!
I followed my pilgrimage
with reverence and devoutness!
I travelled as a Guardian
to a predetermined cosmic path
Beyond the Years Coming
in a new universal Era…
I stretched my Wings again
through a dazzling Light
To protect you from Evil
To save you from your Slavery!
To liberate you from your Misery!
To free you from your Burden!
