Northern Lights

Veronica on the porch 
In the house sleeps the beast, 
in the house waits the angel; 
In the house it is far from dawn. 

Veronica on the porch, on the other side of window 
And I would open the door 
If I knew, where it was.   

The list of ships  
None would read to the end; who needs to - 
To see in it their names... 
We went to the wall, where there was supposed to be one 
But there's only morning there 
And the shadow of your face.   

Tear away from the earth, Northern Light; 
You know, how the end must transpire; 
With your tenderness fill me up. 
With the earth under you, I see no reason to be careful - 
In the house is the beast, Veronica on the porch.  

If you so wish, thus the earth will die out; 
If you so wish - stones will sing glory to you; 
If you so wish - then take off now 
This veil that is over my heart.   

Tear away from the earth, Northern Light; 
You know, how the end must transpire; 
With your tenderness fill me up. 
With the earth under you, 
I see no reason to be careful - 
In the house is the beast, Veronica on the porch. 

The key to the north lies there, where nobody is seeking, 
The key to the north waits in the beating of your heart. 
I know, why you cannot sleep at night now:
You and I are one blood.
