I lost my heart on the eastern shore To a whisper on the wind And all that I knew was no more Did I reach my journey's end? All alone here fire's dying Somewhere far away Will I break and give up trying Or burn another day? I wasted half my life But all I ever wanted Was a clearer view of myself I broke my back with all the things That I considered And now there's nothing left of it And the ashes of fathers Now cover the track In a land where fortune is borrowed In these days where all luck Is just leaving the sad In the air just thoughts full of sorrow Through all these dark years Full of grief, pain and fears We knew our fate is linked 'till we're ashes in the wind Another darkness, another repose Is what I yield to thee Don't fear the veil nor my cold embrace For it will set you free And the ashes of fathers Now cover the track In a land where fortune is borrowed In these days where all luck Is just leaving the sad In the air just thoughts full of sorrow (Through all these dark years) Through all these dark years Full of grief, pain and fears We knew our fate is linked 'till we're ashes in the wind Through all these dark years Through all these dark years Through all these dark years
