lyrics

Many days have passed since I last saw the sun
and I don't know if I'll ever see it again
the last candle glows fainter and fainter
and I can barely see the shape of your still face

Smoke from burnt juniper fills my lungs
(and) I could swear I saw the silhouettes of our children
taken by the figures of black crows
as they painted a white cross on our doors

and I can't tell if this is a dream or reality
so hold my hand and lay here with me
imagine the moon glows so bright
as if it was our last night

and I can't tell if this is a dream or reality
so hold my hand and lay with me
I will love you till end of time
in shallow grave we'll entwine...

I saw empty streets
full of grim shadows
an ominous bell
rang through the dead silence
we all layed there with white-pale faces
staring at the night sky with our dead eyes

and I can't tell if this is a dream or reality
so hold my hand and die with me...
