Before the light has come anew
Before the darkness fades
Before the springs of morning dew
Before your dark skin pales

Before the sword of light strikes true
Before the darkness dies
Before the sky gets ever blue
Before the white moon flies

Before the end of Shadow's reign
Before the sun arise
Before gold flows across the plain
Before the melting ice

Before the dawn of new-born hopes
Before the lost dreams fade
Before the grass stirs on the slopes
Before night is unmade

Before, before, before, before
Yet now it is too late
To tell you how I yearned for more
Before your light did fade
