All These Dark Years
I lost my heart on the eastern shore
To a whisper on the wind
And all that I knew was no more
Did I reach my journey's end?
All alone here fire's dying
Somewhere far away
Will I break and give up trying
Or burn another day?
I wasted half my life
But all I ever wanted
Was a clearer view of myself
I broke my back with all the things
That I considered
And now there's nothing left of it
[Bridge:]
And the ashes of fathers
Now cover the track
In a land where fortune is borrowed
In these days where all luck
Is just leaving the sad
In the air just thoughts full of sorrow
[Chorus:]
Through all these dark years
Full of grief, pain and fears
We knew our fate is linked
Another darkness, another repose
Is what I yield to thee
Don't fear the veil nor my cold embrace
For it will set you free
[Bridge:]
And the ashes of fathers
Now cover the track
In a land where fortune is borrowed
In these days where all luck
Is just leaving the sad
In the air just thoughts full of sorrow
[Chorus:]
(Through all these dark years)
Through all these dark years
Full of grief, pain and fears
We knew our fate is linked
'till we're ashes in the wind
[Solo: TOBI]
Through all these dark years
Through all these dark years
Through all these dark years
To a whisper on the wind
And all that I knew was no more
Did I reach my journey's end?
All alone here fire's dying
Somewhere far away
Will I break and give up trying
Or burn another day?
I wasted half my life
But all I ever wanted
Was a clearer view of myself
I broke my back with all the things
That I considered
And now there's nothing left of it
[Bridge:]
And the ashes of fathers
Now cover the track
In a land where fortune is borrowed
In these days where all luck
Is just leaving the sad
In the air just thoughts full of sorrow
[Chorus:]
Through all these dark years
Full of grief, pain and fears
We knew our fate is linked
Another darkness, another repose
Is what I yield to thee
Don't fear the veil nor my cold embrace
For it will set you free
[Bridge:]
And the ashes of fathers
Now cover the track
In a land where fortune is borrowed
In these days where all luck
Is just leaving the sad
In the air just thoughts full of sorrow
[Chorus:]
(Through all these dark years)
Through all these dark years
Full of grief, pain and fears
We knew our fate is linked
'till we're ashes in the wind
[Solo: TOBI]
Through all these dark years
Through all these dark years
Through all these dark years
