For too long now I'm on my own For too long now I await my fate And I see, what has to be done is yours And also I know, all that is left is breaking down again And I know that a bu*terfly can't soar inside a frame And so I think I should smash these things and let it live again From your heart the sun will shine - the love will burn Every eclipse meets it's end - and luck won't turn Six black roses and a thousand tears to me Just a little time and 99 years to be free For too long now I'm on my own For too long now I'm so alone From your heart the light has gone - the darkness stays Every life meets it's end, just remaining ashes burn A thousand roses but just a few tears to me Just a little time and just one step further to be free To be free And I carry my heart down to the shore Close my eyes for the future It was to me, so how could I fail? And I carry my life down to the shore A distorted picture in the river tells me what I can't stand to see And I carry my heart down to the shore Close my eyes for the future It was to me, so how could I fail? And I carry my life down to the shore A distorted picture in the river tells me what I can't stand to see
