Between Yesterday and Tomorrow

Luna*

Record Details

Release
2009

Between the spheres
In the old books it says
That heaven was the father
And earth was the mother
Air was the mediator between
The sea was a troubling ally
To be treated with caution and care
The sky was the divine opposite
To the mortal life on earth
A great gulf yawns between
The two spheres
And earth was a flat circle
Heaven a dome
All around the sea of chaos
And underneath the world of death

Luna, when your light is full
Luna, the oceans and the sea
Luna, your temple of light
Luna, whispers prayers at night

And crime increases
The policeman says
The full moon releases
The lunatics
When darkness falls
You rise into the heavens
The sounds of hundreds of priestesses
Chanting and wailing
To the sound of drums
Ceremony of the beauty
Colors of the gold
Sparkling blades of silver
The mind is in trance
And wolves are howling
And birds spread their wings
Beyond the moon are all eternal things

Supra Lunam Sunt Aeterna Omnia

Luna, when your light is full
Luna, the oceans and the seas
Luna, your temple of light
Luna, whispers prayers at night

Luna, when your light is full
Luna, the lake of longing
Luna, your temple of light
Luna, forever above
forever above

Luna, when your light is full
Luna, You whisper prayers at night…
