lyrics

He was a lonely soul
who wandered through the woods
prince of melancholy,
and his dreamful thoughts,
the innocent love
in his mind,
an empty hole
in his pensive heart

The forest cheered the man
with open arms,
with shining stars
in bright nights
he sat under a
giant oak,
and dreamed about an
unknown love

When the trees pray an orison,
his sight ended beyond the horizon,
a storm interposed his thoughts
the rain opened the gate to another world

A small cabin, what does it hide,
is it the dream, or is it real,
looks into her eyes so deep,
and felt in love with no way out

I feel the air,
I feel no pain
in death's embrace,
dole in my face
I greet the end
the doom did
not allow
us both
to stay in...

... love
we walked alone
our hearts
innocent thoughts
I stay your
eternal flame
lost the wings of hope

Now I see you
in the light of chamber
on a high cliff
and I surrender
one step
into the darkness
inhumes our tale

I feel you in my dreams
your open mouth without kiss
Your body, turned to stone,
grim as the pain you've gone through
