lyrics

I sang songs for you
to let your inner demons sleep
but I just woke them up
I fought for you
against three heads of jealousy, distrust and lies

Don´t turn around
when you see me
it will be
the last time

Close your eyes
Trust me, Trust me
I will guide you home
Give me your hand
Close your eyes
Trust me, Trust me
I will save you from
demise

I will take the sword of honesty
cause honesty cuts deep
I will take the shield of hope
cause if everything is lost
hope prevails

I walk into the shadows
being light
trying to find you
cross the water of death
there is no forgiveness here
Everybody will pay for what they´ve done
just make sure you have

enough to pay the ferryman
enough to pay for your sins
Your soul is everything what's left
so you better ensure you ain't selling it for nothing

I can´t feel you
I can´t feel you anymore

So you did turn around
You played with everything we've got
And you've lost, us
You turned around
looked me in the eyes
and I tried to say

Close your eyes
Trust me, Trust me
I will guide you home
Give me your hand
Close your eyes
Trust me, Trust me
I will save you from

The end and all its pain
the end and all its frustration
I know I tried

And after everything we´ve said
and after everything we´ve done
this will be the end
And after everything we´ve said
and after everything we´ve done
this will be the end
And everything is vanishing into the red of the setting sun
This goodbye means forever
We came in red like a rose
this love blossomed but your lies came like winter
cold and without mercy to kill what we've got
and now with red eyes I realized
this love is not strong enough to chance seasons
