Elegy Lyrics
He is sitting on a hill
a vapid night is crawling through the vale
the trees are fangs of transiency
the demons forge hammers and nails
he will travel all the ways
that lead to the unknown lands
time has distorted his view
an amen in his due
he is gazing at the skies
without yearning in his eyes
and he will follow the invisible trace
when the sirens sing again...
the spring is in the air, the silence in the skies
the wind is in his hair, the moon is in his eyes
the bats play on but he'll be gone
before the world has left the night
...the birds sing on but he has gone
before the morning spreads its light
a vapid night is crawling through the vale
the trees are fangs of transiency
the demons forge hammers and nails
that lead to the unknown lands
time has distorted his view
an amen in his due
without yearning in his eyes
and he will follow the invisible trace
when the sirens sing again...
the wind is in his hair, the moon is in his eyes
the bats play on but he'll be gone
before the world has left the night
before the morning spreads its light

I think this song is about somebody who died, as the word "Elegy" in English has the definition:
"A poem of serious reflection, typically a lament for the dead."
It seems like maybe it is talking about somebody who commits suicide, as this part:
"time has distorted his view" - Perhaps his life was filled with tragedy and bad events so his view on the world and life in general is tainted and warped.
"an amen in his due" - This part is probably meant to be pity for the person who did it.
A very pretty track, but the lyrics are incredibly deep and are dark.
