Creaking Shards

Grasping a glass knife
Running through the depths of the cold night
Black emotions burn the chest
And carve my name on the moon
Inside the deep woods, a wolf enveloped by darkness
Sent by the god of death: red eyes and white fangs
Quenches his thirst with his own blood
Pride and independence his only shining crest
A hundred million shards of mirror
A tiny little light of life
A nostalgic soul moving far away
But only you and I
Can find "the answer", sometime
A golden path stretches out forever
We can run along it to the ends of the earth
Hold frozen flames to your chest
And drift through the blue depths of the night
Torn apart by beloved pain
I whisper your name to the stars
A girl born painted in the red of dawn
Dances in the golden autumn, making even angels jealous
Freedom and yearning her only glittering crown
A hundred million shards of mirror
A tiny little light of life
A nostalgic soul moving far away
But if it's you and I together
We can find "the answer", surely
A golden path stretches out forever
Let's run along it, even beyond tomorrow
We met in the foggy tomorrow
And parted in the silence of the night
A broken sword and a torn shield
With unshed tears having pierced the heart
It pushes everything aside, this black flow
The gods' silence follows the earth
But nobody hears your cry
Nobody hears it
The wind sobs, the sea twists about
The stars creak, time bursts and scatters
Unfinished dreams will end one day
That's right: love isn't eternal at all
However...
A hundred million shards of mirror
A tiny little light of life
A nostalgic soul moving far away
Only you and I
Can find "the answer", one day
A golden path stretches out forever
We can run along it to the ends of the earth
Lets' run along it, even beyond tomorrow
