Suddenly I am awake The smooth grey stripe The shaded blue mist In silent pleasant slumber
One sweet the second bitter Once surfaced now falling deeper Twice the weight to drag one further
Suddenly I am awake and the mist is gone Everything pleasant has turned dark What were clouds are now steel and rock The grey stripe will point the way The thin gate will lead you in
Suddenly I am awake and the air is bitter Everything dark has turned light What were steel and rock are now gone
