Wheel - To My Love Departed

The strangest way, first time we met
a message via internet
reanimates a dead born heart
rebuilds the bridge, that long ago
was blown apart.

Around my head the sweetest memories fly
and softly whisper "all your dreams will die"
if there is someone outside (there), to catch
my final breath
with every single word, upon my knees
I pray for death.

And once again, I lost myself in darkness
and once again, I greet the well-known pain
and for the last time, I kept my faith in illusion
accepted truth; that's always me to blame.

[chorus:]
And now you're gone, my love but forgot
to dig the grave
where, I could (gently) lay my heart to rest.
These well learned sentences behind the
haze of tears
each single word feels, like a thorn drown
in my breast.

At the end of the Masquerade
face to face we meet the train
as the fat lady sung, armageddon began
and I lost my last picture of you
you can take the horse to the water
but can't make it drink
I'm the captain on deck of a ship
that is set to sink.
