Years of wait are over now

She's almost in my grasp

Now I will fulfill my vow

She will be mine at last

I feel him near

The boy estranged has now returned

A full grown man, but still I fear that nothing's changed

He simply does not understand

Come with me

I'll set you free

And I'll show you

What your life could be

You can't see

That I am free

My life is mine

Not yours, so leave me be

Through forests deep, over mountains high

I've crossed the waves for her

In shadows dark, this cursed night

My thoughts and memories stir

I've left the memories

Of our youth behind

I don't know what he hopes to find

In the shadows he waits for me

For the dream that cannot be

Come with me

I'll set you free

And I'll show you

What your life could be

You can't see

That I am free

My life is mine

Not yours, so leave me be

She refuses to leave

So I grab her by force

I pull the knife I've concealed

I put the edge to his throat

Shocked by the attack

I can feel her final words sear

Leave and never come back

Or I'll cut you ear to ear

You can't see

That I am free

My life is mine

Not yours, so leave me be

I'll set you free

He said to me

And I'll show you what your life could be

I am free

She said to me

My life is mine

Not yours, so leave me be!
