A thousand nights I have walked this road
And yet, it seems as if it is the first
It used to be so easy, thousands of years ago
But tonight, I feel my soul might break and burst

The cool air of the night possesses my tired lungs
The wet grass caresses my sour feet
The night speaks in silent tongues
Of a long lost lover’s meet

I hurry over misted fields
To for one last time resolve in your eyes
I once fell for you – head over heels
But all I ever got was beautified lies

It is true what they say: The first cut is the deepest
I know that now, thousands of years later
And, if I let you, once more you will deceive me with your bitter-sweetness
And this time my pain and sorrow will be even greater

This is why tonight must be the end
Of thousands of years of loving ruin
The last moment of your velvet skin against mine, my friend
The last rush of that favourite drug of mine you have always been

The hours of the night will pass by in one breath
Soon the dawn will come and I must go
You will ask me to stay, but I know the result of that will eventually be my death
I will leave, but I promise I will always love you so

The warmth of you will be lingering
I will, for you, shed a thousand tears
But a broken heart will soon be healing
And for that, I have waited thousands of years.
