I'm of the land of
shadows and darkness
You were returning
towards the morning light
Almost in reach
of places I knew
Escaping the ghosts
of yesterday
You were behind me
following closely
Don't turn around
I heard you whisper in my ear
If you should turn now
all that you want
Will vanish just like
a passing dream
Just on the verge
verge of the morning
Daylight was dawning
freedom was but a step away
Now at the deep
dark river behind us
What could go wrong
if I stayed strong in mind
What was the sudden
lapse into madness
What was the urge that turned
my head round to look at you
What was the stubborn
will to destroy
The love and the joy
at the end
Three times as long
they're rolling in my ears
In all of my years I'll see
that last look in your eyes
As with a sigh
like smoke in the wind
You slipped from my grasp
into the raging shadows
So much I long to say
but I just can't
Only the empty air
and a black night's coldness
Into another world
you have passed
And never again
can I reclaim you
