The Bosphorus Freezes Over
So there it was, the thing we dread the most. Time had caught up with us. The
thread ended.
I felt betrayed and disappointed. Was that really it?
And looking down at myself lying on the ground of Piraeus harbour, snowflakes
falling down on me... That night the Bosphorus froze
We watch the sand trickle, anxious about its steady flow.
But what we really failed to see is, that at any minute, the glass might just burst
into pieces.
You see, it's none about what you take with you, it's about what you leave behind.
And there, on the side of a lion, the story found its end.
[Hakon Halfdansson - appr. 1043]
Viimeistä virttään kirjoittaa
Harva meistä saa
Muistoihin jää
Laulumme tää
Päättyy ikävään
Kaiuissa vuosisatojen
Haaveissa kuolleiden
Kohtaavat päät
Tähdissä näät nyt sen
Ikuisuuden
