Time, it took the most of me
And left me with no key
To unlock the chest of remedy

Mother, the pain ain't hurting me
But the love that I feel
When you hold me near

The hopes were high
The choirs were vast
Now my dreams are left to live through you

Red sun rising
Drown without inhaling
Within, the dark holds hard

Passiontide
An angel by my side
But no Christ to end this war
To deliver my soul from the sword

Hope has shown me a scenery
Paradise poetry
With first snow I'll be gone

The hopes were high
The choirs were vast
Now my dreams are left to live through you

Red sun rising
Drown without inhaling
Within, the dark holds hard
Red sun rising
Curtain falling
Higher than hope my cure lies

[Speak:]
I just would like to think that... not why it happened to me
But why was I saved?
What else could I do now?

Your tale saved me

[Speak:]
In the dark about something, I can't even tell you how... it is
You don't know what's inside, you don't know what's going to happen to you
And the best way to put somebody at ease is to... (??)
Even if it's true

Red sun rising
Drown without inhaling
Within, the dark holds hard
Red sun rising
Curtain falling
Higher than hope my cure lies
