Farewell to Old Friends, Pt. 2 - Sylvan

I went on a journey to distant galaxies

The reason for my travel were black holes that I’d meet

I could barely make out the earth I left behind

Some would call it coward but I have called it wise … desperately wise …

Way above the dark clouds — here I could avoid the rain

And it was beyond doubt it would suffocate my pain

In my iron rocket, searching for a golden sun

I could not conceive that I was actually on the run … not an easy one …

The old man then cut my dream as he started to talk

Of old times and tyranny, of bombs and of war

He spoke of a different world and his eyes were so wise

That moment, so valuable, made me realise …

Learn to let go — don’t endure it in vain

Know that a rainbow follows close upon rain …

Far away we travel, but it’s here where we can find it inside

Farewell to old friends but a welcome to life!

Learn to let go and find — don’t endure it in vain

Know that a rainbow can never arise without rain …

Far we expect the sun — but right here it will hide

Farewell to old friends but a welcome to life … that’s a reason to survive!
