As I passed by the castle Where I used to be a knight I stared at the ruins Of the glory that bards used to sing And all I heard was predatory Howling And the dark of ravens in the sky I couldn’t take it I want to hide inside my head As I walked beneath the grayish twilight A gloomy site The fire has eaten everything Between the dark blue noise I thought I heard that voice It said she’s waiting for you In the ancient temple Behind the stream But I knew It’s all lies And the walls of the castle Would deceive me Who am I Just a homeless in a place that I used to call home Just a shadow amongst the darkness where I used to live the light And under the gloomy grayish twilight I saw her walking towards me from a distance Down the stream Beside the ancient temple ruins Could it be that I am dreaming Could it be that she too survived A sign of life between the shades Beside the dead fountain There she was in black cloak As the cold wind brought her perfume to my lungs I felt alive So I took her in my arms I let a tear She wasn’t real She just vanished through the shades And I fell to my knees On the rocky streets of the old town Where I used to be the child I just wept by the stream My bitter tears emerged the water And my dreams found their way to the cemeteries I’m a stranger in this place Where they all died I will live with my disgrace And every day I just walk amongst the ruins Amongst my memories The place is dead Where I used to be a youth White of hairs burnt my head I am close to fall dead And all I wanted was one last time To see the place where I used to be a king Where I used to drink and sing Where we never knew the sorrows Where we thought that tomorrow Will never bring us so much pain Will never ever break our hearts And beneath that tree by the stream Where we both lived a dream Where we had our first kiss Where the air carried the words of I love you of our lips We never knew that we’re destined to be torn apart On that place where I used to be alive I curse that day when I was the only who survived I curse the moon and its light in a long long lonely night I curse myself it is true I survived but I just ran I didn’t fight
