Too beautiful the earth, too precious my own death
The black from hell surrounds me, claiming my last breath
Yesterdays, tomorrows are just remnants of the years
I spent on searching for my tears

When time runs out and your heart needs to say much more
The heart that should be hearing, gone forevermore
Sunken eyes pay tribute to the damage I have done
A guilt from which I can not run

Haunting phantoms called regrets
Shadow creatures from the depths
Simmer in the conscience
Like a sun that never sets
Count your blessings, one by one
Still the deeds remain undone
When you borrow from the past
The die of death is cast

Radiating from my crown a final glimpse of light
A beam of sorrow leads me to my acolyte
Leads me to my savior
Past touch, the sight and sound, no longer to be found
The bitter tears I weep until the creatures drown
Until I meet my maker far beyond this world
Where the sails of the darkness, the wings of the heartless, may be unfurled

Sky of mercy, come weep with me
Rain on it all

When the leaves of autumn fall carefree
Maybe you'll come back to me

When the first snow covers the pine trees
Maybe you'll come back to me

Haunting phantoms called regrets
Shadow creatures from the depths
Simmer in the conscience
Like a sun that never sets
Count your blessings, one by one
Still the deeds remain undone
When you borrow from the past
The die of death is cast

Haunting phantoms called regrets
Simmer in the conscience
Like a sun that never sets
Count your blessings, one by one
When you borrow from the past
The die of death is cast
