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 butterfly 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
