For too long now I'm on my own... for too long now I await my fate
 ...And I see, what has to be done is yours
 ...And I also know, all that is left is breaking down again
 ...And I know that a butterfly can't soar inside a frame
 ...And so I think I should smash these things and let it live again
 From your heart the sun will shine, the love will burn
 Every eclipse meets it's end, and luck won't turn
 Six black roses and a thousand tears to me
 Just a little time and 99 years to be free
 For too long now I'm on my own... for too long now I'm so alone
 From your heart the light has gone, the darkness stays
 Every life meets it's end, just remaining ashes burn
 A thousand roses but just a few tears to me
 Just a little time and just one step further to be free
 And carry my heart down to the shore
 Close my eyes for the future
 It was to me, how could I fail?
 And I carry my life down to the shore
 A distorted picture in the river tells me what I can't stand to see
