My Silent Wake

Sullen Earth
Night falls swiftly upon this sullen earth Nothing lasts Tomorrow all is gone Tomorrow all is one Again All around I see rebirth, decay It cannot last Tomorrow all is gone Tomorrow all is one Again Nothing lasts Tomorrow all is gone Time passed us slowly long ago Within the woods and fields we roamed Our joyful voices carried far away To echo around the trees and stones And in the end return us home The glow of summer evenings falling on our way But childhood ends, the wars begin We chase our dreams-we break, we mend Then wonder what became of yesterday We make decisions through our pain And bow our heads to run through flames As revolution finds us once again Songtexte We know we each must walk - as all must walk We each must walk alone And we all must stand, blindly with our outstretched hands To face this world alone Where is the life we longed for? What happened to the dreams we dreamed together? Where is the hope we longed for? What happened to those dreams now lost forever? All alone in mourning Is there any more? See the leaves are falling Lost forevermore As the fires are burning Only ash remains Today as always Dust to dust again Again Take me away Take me so far away When I lie in the earth, I so loved to roam As it takes to itself my broken form I'm falling away Falling so far away As I sink ever deeper I cry to you Lift me out of the depths of this sullen earth Aus Songtexte Mania
