Walking alone on the sinking ground
She catches heavenly tears without a sound
Black dress - pure background for a rose in her hand
She'll throw it to the sea for there's no land
Pity her hands which in a lifetime
haven't known other hands; only the rose's thorns
Pity her sky with only dark heavy clouds
Heart able to forgive, unable to live
Take my hand, I’ll guide you through the sea
I’ll be your lighthouse, I’ll face your fear
Oh, how I wish to reach this eternal light
Dimmed by the world, so long ago
Still, I miss you, my eternal dream
I, little scorned rock under your bare feet
Trying to build a road to paradise
Heart able to forgive, unable to live
You were waiting, prince has not arrived
Beggars mourned under your feet, but you let them die
Haven't you heard that a princess has to kiss
the frog that will become the prince?
Maybe they'll meet each other in the rain
Pleasure is so shallow, only deadly pain
can tear a soul away from lethargy
Only heavy tears can teach how to feel
Take my hand, I’ll guide you through the sea
I’ll be your lighthouse, I’ll face your fear
Oh, how I wish to reach this eternal light
Dimmed by the world, hidden in your eyes
Still, I miss you, my eternal dream
I, little scorned rock under your bare feet
Trying to build a road to paradise
Heart able to forgive, even lethal lies
Through this grey horizon your eyes cannot see
More you hate, more you fear
You try to fly away but your wings are torn apart
And remind you there was a time when you could reach the stars
Now all that remains are scars
