Sunset at Maria's Pt.2 Songtext
von Tempesst

The sunset′s carved into a Grecian sky
Into clouds of marble, veins of orange rays of light
Commissioned by you and I
And I'm not one for a throwaway line
But tonight, I love you and I mean it

And on this sacred day of Saint Constantine
My heart′s still for change, as if my worry's taken me
And it's as foreign as the liturgy
Though the priest echoes through the valley
Over loudspeaker from the monastery

And the procession bleeds down the mountainside
I saw the people sweat on armoured dress, working overtime
Keeping the embers of their faith alive
I remember what that feels like
Only little of my face arrived


The lime tree stands at the foot of the stairs
Growing through thistles, stone, wind and storms, proud as a monument
A symbol of the life we shared
The pleasure of the fruit it bears
The struggle makes it sweet, yeah

And in the gentle gaze of your gean eyes
Lies a certainty on which I confess I′ve come to rely
A look that everything′s gonna be alright
You know, you know it's no lie
But tonight, I love you and I mean it

On the anniversary of nine years past
You said any fool can fall in love, but few can make it last
Given the chance, they let it come undone
And of all our heaps of darkness
You′re the bright and golden sun

And as the day fades into monochrome
Windows light in the valley becoming a galaxy of our own
Tonight, I love you and I mean it
