Between light and shadow

In the haze bleak and gray

In the foggy veil of blue, I was drawn by the dawn

Outlined by the day

There among my own

Reared by my kith and kin

I learnt the words and the everyday chores

The toil, the lot of man

I was born with the Sun

Number and knowledge

Perished with the Moon I was

I gained from the day

The song of life's splendor

I was taught by the night

And wise were the dead

Number and knowledge

Who stood by my side

I gained from the day

As I walked straight and narrow

On my path in the Sun

From the vault of the heavens

I stole the Moon's magic song

From the pearl in the shell, spied the secret words

Just to forget it all

Between the light and shadow

In the haze, bleak, and gray

In the dusk, I faded

Disappeared into the night

I was born with the Sun

Number and knowledge

Perished with the Moon I was

I gained from the day

As I walked straight and narrow

On my path in the Sun

I was born with the Sun

Number and knowledge

Perished with the Moon I was

I gained from the day

The song of life's splendor

I was taught by the night

And wise were the dead

Number and knowledge

Who stood by my side

I gained from the day

As I walked straight and narrow

On my path in the Sun
