Lacrimosa

In the growing night
The moonlight shines down on my fears
And adorns all my wretched sorrow

Let it sing with fright
Entwine and immerse in our lives
We can't stop their dance in the dark

The secrets you gave me, unravel into new meanings
I can't see through the night, even so I will run blind

Lacrimosa once again
I will love this world's beauty
That is now gone dead to my eyes
It vanished that day shattered at dawn

Don't let dreams show in your eyes
Hide the light deeper inside
With all the tears you should have cried
Tormented heart you're tainted by your own fears

Cutting through the night
Are wheels of a phantom carriage
That races from the dark as you wake
Does it reach the light?
You're left never knowing its fate
'Cause you've been lured in the flames

Scream and cry 'til you die
Plead and beg but you won't be heard (never)
By the gods and their ruthless ways
You're lucky if they're laughing
Lacrimosa

Next thing you know we will be firewood
We'll be the ones burning down the town
We will fade away
And sins will drown someday

Lacrimosa once again
I will love this blood-soaked land
Where I was born, once so carefree
But that was before my world was torn

You don't need his forgiveness
Instead put your faith in me
I'll count the days sullied by tears
I won't forsake you or this world 'til I break

Lacrimosa
