Lunar Lament Lyrics
Take a look at me
So cold and all alone
I drift around in circles
And I can't reach the sun
You saints and sinners
Your peace and war
I drift alone in silence
'Cause I can't reach the sun
It's all I long for
The heat of the sun
It's all I long for
What I'm wishing for is the blessing of the sun
Just open up and see
Forget what you've been told
I'm existing hopelessly
'Cause I can't reach the sun
It's all I long for
The heat of the sun
It's all I long for
What I'm wishing for is the blessing of the sun
Save me from these endless days
Release me here and now
'Cause I can't reach the sun
Save me from these endless days
Release me here and now
'Cause I can't reach the sun
Here I am
Still the same
Round and round
Every day
Fighting hard now
I must push on
Feed the challenge
But even if I miss
I'll land among the stars
Take another look
At yourself what do you see?
You drift alone in circles
And you can't reach the sun
Are you a prisoner
Of an endless war
Or trapped in sadness
You can't reach the sun
It's all I long for
The heat of the sun
It's all I long for
What I'm wishing for is the blessing of the sun
It's all I long for
The heat of the sun
It's all I long for
What I'm wishing for is the blessing of the sun
What I'm wishing for is the blessing of the sun
Save me from these endless days
Release me here and now
'Cause I can't reach the sun
Save me from these endless days
Release me here and now
'Cause I can't reach the sun
So cold and all alone
I drift around in circles
And I can't reach the sun
Your peace and war
I drift alone in silence
'Cause I can't reach the sun
The heat of the sun
It's all I long for
What I'm wishing for is the blessing of the sun
Forget what you've been told
I'm existing hopelessly
'Cause I can't reach the sun
The heat of the sun
It's all I long for
What I'm wishing for is the blessing of the sun
Release me here and now
'Cause I can't reach the sun
Save me from these endless days
Release me here and now
'Cause I can't reach the sun
Still the same
Round and round
Every day
Fighting hard now
I must push on
Feed the challenge
But even if I miss
I'll land among the stars
At yourself what do you see?
You drift alone in circles
And you can't reach the sun
Are you a prisoner
Of an endless war
Or trapped in sadness
You can't reach the sun
The heat of the sun
It's all I long for
What I'm wishing for is the blessing of the sun
It's all I long for
The heat of the sun
It's all I long for
What I'm wishing for is the blessing of the sun
What I'm wishing for is the blessing of the sun
Release me here and now
'Cause I can't reach the sun
Save me from these endless days
Release me here and now
'Cause I can't reach the sun

I do believe that their talking from the perspective of the moon, and how they think it craves the suns rays and heat, and it's always trying to get closer but can't make it..somethin' like that.
I believe it's deeper than that... much deeper. But meh, I can't be bothered to explain my theory just now...
Either way; kick ass riif, and the lyrics are great, too. Thought-inspiring.
Shit, nevremind, I confused the window... that comment was for another song. =P
But yeah, I do like this song's riff, anyways...
Missing a part after the 4th part
Darkness covers me My soul has yet to long I'm looking for serenity 'Cause I can't reach the sun
For me it has a deeper meaning :) It compares our lives to Moon's journey around the Earth. Either we -humans,nor the Moon,aren't able to reach our goals.The goal for Moon is to reach the Sun,and everyone of us,has his own life goals.
"Take another look At yourself what do you see? You drift alone in circles And you can't reach the sun"
I always took it to be somewhat religious in meaning. Listening to Blind Guardian it seems like Hansi has atleast some interest in The Bible. The moon would be the narrator, and the sun would be The Son of God, Jesus Christ. He's longing for the serenity of God, but maybe he can't bring himself to fully offer himself up or make such a huge lifestyle change. Atleast this is what I've thought, and it makes the song more emotional for me.
This song is about the Maia Tilion from Tolkien's legendarium. In his youth Tilion was a hunter and the Valar choose him to guide the vessel of the moon. At the same time, Arien, another Maia, was chossen to guide the vessel of the sun. In simmalirion Tilion is said to have been in love with Arien and he keeps chasing her across the sky. "Tolkien portrays Tilion as reckless at times, and as one who does not always follow the correct path. This causes the Moon to not always be in the sky at the same time as the Sun or to not appear at all."
