Dream of Light is a 1992 Spanish film directed by Victor Erice. Its Spanish title is El Sol del Membrillo, which translates directly to the English "The Sun of the Quince"; it was released in Hong Kong as The Sun of the Quince Tree, and internationally as Quince Tree of the Sun. The film centers on Spanish painter Antonio López García (playing himself) and his attempt to paint the eponymous quince tree. López struggles to capture a perfect, fleeting moment of beauty on canvas, and the film meticulously chronicles his work.
At the 1992 Cannes Film Festival the film won the Jury Prize and the FIPRESCI Prize.[1]

No more tears, no more pain, no more crying in the rain
No more sorrow, no more blame, in the kingdom of light
No more fear, no more lies, no temptation, open eyes
Finally found my piece of mind on the road to paradise
The revelation of the word is rocking the ages
Bringing solution to the world, the fire is raging on
Another time, another place, and we'll be standing face to face
Life will be an open page, in the kingdom of the light
No more night, no more day, everything has passed away
Got to find the narrow way that leads to paradise
The revelation of the word is rocking the ages
Bringing solution to the world, the fire is raging
Woe to the nations and kings of the earth
When heaven comes down for the final re-birth
Taking our place with the Ancient of Days
Ruling the kingdom of light
The kingdom of light!
Woe to the nations and kings of the earth
When heaven comes down for the final re-birth
Taking our place with the Ancient of Days
Ruling the kingdom of light
Woe to the nations and kings of the earth
When heaven comes down for the final re-birth
Taking our place with the Ancient of Days
Ruling the kingdom of light
