I

Home, the Bloom of the Night
Home, the Bloom of the Night
Home, the Bloom of the Night
Home, the Bloom of the Night

Far away Joys
Far away Bees
Far away Thunders
They stay forever, they stay forever, they stay forever

Faraway Sugars
Faraway Rivers
Faraway Winds
They stay forever, they stay forever, they stay forever

II

Trails and trees with no snails and leaves
Snails and leaves with no past dreams
Trails and trees with no snails and leaves
Snails and leaves with no past dreams

Shores, Meadows, Mountains, Flood
Spleens, Lungs, Livers, Glow

Like never before
Like never before
Like never before
Like never before

With airy crystals

Forest kiss the rain
Forest kiss the rain
Forest kiss the rain
Forest kiss the rain

Cherished ones longing in the grave
Cherished ones longing in the grave
Cherished ones longing in the grave

III

Birds, our darlings and evil flowers,
evil flowers, evil flowers

Metals, our darlings and novel wonders,
novel wonders, novel wonders

Clouds

Clouds
They speak

Clouds

Clouds
They speak

IV

Soil in the heart
Soil in the heart

Cicadas of the Orchards
Fireflies of the Orchards

Soil in the heart
Soil in the heart

Vitriums of the Orchards
Adamas of the Orchards

Soil in the heart
Soil in the heart
