National Anthem of Aryez

From Aryez

The National Anthem of Aryez

(The anthem comes from verses 3-40 of the last book of the Marfat)

Into the Horizon

Lay down

Your sweet and weary head

Night is falling

You have come to journey's end

Sleep now

And dream of the ones who came before

They are calling

From across the distant shore

Why do you weep?

What are these tears upon your face?

Soon you will see

All of your fears will pass away

Safe in my arms

You're only sleeping

What can you see

On the horizon?

Why do the white gulls call?

Across the sea

A pale moon rises

The ships have come to carry you home

And all will turn

To silver glass

A light on the water

All souls pass

Hope fades

Into the world of night

Through shadows falling

Out of memory and time

Do not say: «We have come now to the end»

White shores are calling

You and I will meet again

And you will be here in my arms

Just sleeping

And all will turn

To silver glass

A light on the water

Grey ships pass

Into the Horizon
