By Your Own Soul

You know how hard it is
To bear the cross
You know what it means
The pain of loss
Being abandoned cold and alone

You know how hard it is
To be the one without a key
You know what it means
To be the one without a dream

Alone and lost
Forgotten by your soul
You draw your pain in wine to avoid
That wished agony
The sweet feel of falling

Every dream is voluptuous
Like a falling star in the skies
You chase the evil inside your weak heart

Emptiness of bound
Drunken laughter all around
You see a dream without a feel
You’re giving in
A moment of love
Turning in ashes forever

Before the dawn finds me I will
Chase my heart without a thrill

Before the snowfall turns me into stone
I will forgive the heart that’s already burnt
The dream of mine is forever gone

Forget the path leading to once dear home
Retrieve a heart you’ve lost beyond
Forgive and read a farewell sent by your own soul
