lyrics

It's been 800 years now,
Yet it feels like it happened yesterday,

Not a day goes by without thinking of the past,
How much I had to forget,
How much I lost,

Still the air is cold here, I can barely breath,
Sometimes I'd like those icy waters to drown me,
I'd like the blue river to take me back home, to take me where I belong

Walking through the clouds,
I heard your voice,
Echo of a forgotten hope,

Days go by,
But the doubt remains,
Will I be able to go on,

I can't let you go,
Won't you stop whispering my name,
Won't you let me go,
Far away, where time stand still…

My hands are tainted from the blood of my betrayal,
Should I feel regret,
Is this what I wanted,

My mouth is sewed,
Words mean nothing now,
I am lost forever suffering,

Where was the life you promised me?
Everything has been taken away from me,
Where is this place you condemned me,
The air is so cold,
And so is my soul,

Walking through the sky,
I smelled your hair,
Perfume of a joy I once knew,

Days go by,
But memories won't fade,
Visions of you will forever burn my eyes,

I can't let you go,
Won't you stop whispering my name,
Won't you let me go,
Far away, where you're still breathing…

My mind will shatter,
I can't stand this anymore,
The flames of the sun,
The shivers of the night,

I've been here for so long,
Waiting for your arrival,
Hope has now turned into despair,

Where is the life you promised me?
Everything has been taken away from me,
Where is this place you condemned me,
The air is so cold,
And so is your soul,

I won't forget,
The pain I had to bear,
How much I suffered for you,



Take my flesh, my bones,
My soul and my past,
I lost the will to fight,
I'm leaving here,
Soon I will be gone,

The departure for us has arrived,
Soon, the sun will rise,
And we will be free,

The departure,
A new journey awaits us,
Let's leave together,
We'll live forever.
