Lyrics

[00:57.31] I came up to our house
[00:59.42] With barren feet and empty handed
[01:04.76] You weren’t here in a long time
[01:07.77] But your ghost still haunts these walls
[01:11.47] Over all these years
[01:14.66] We slowly lost each others sight
[01:18.79] We tried everything just not to forget
[01:21.42] But this life has no clean brakes…
[01:55.53] So now that you’re gone
[01:58.20] I’ve got no more reason to croak in this place
[02:02.33] Alas this formerly lively area now turned out just bleak and lonesome.
[02:09.63] So why should I stay
[02:16.55] Why should I scrape a living by disgrace
[02:22.92] When almost every other spot in this world
[02:32.30] Seems to have more meaning than this one?
[02:38.24] I keep on starring at these blank walls
[02:41.33] Where our pictures hung
[02:45.79] As they indicate: My former home became a grave!
[02:55.41] I am happy“, is something we haven’t said for a while
[03:01.55] We didn’t succed to win this fight together, but at least we tried!
[03:14.00] At least I tried!
[04:57.48] All these sore memories,
[05:01.08] Hidden in a heartshaped-box,
[05:05.46] Which I buried so deep,
[05:08.32] Within the power of man.
[05:12.21] But the day will dawn,
[05:14.49] When I’m going to rake over their ashes,
[05:19.81] And scatter them into the river,
[05:24.76] That once flooded this place.
[05:28.32] Run as fast as your legs will carry you away from me,
[05:35.03] I just brought you misfortune and the sands of time are running out.
[05:42.28] But with every minute that’s elapsing,
[05:45.55] The spleen is decreasing,
[05:49.41] And when a few years have past,
[05:52.94] You won’t be able to recall my face...
