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.
