Night is the enemy
Poisons the memory
Martyrs it secretly
Midnight comes too fast
It comes too silently
The moon has no mercy now
To live anymore
One day the rains will come
And wash away the tears
Sunlight will fade the years
Midnight comes too fast
And I don't want
The night to last
Shadows on the glass
Faces in window panes
Old lace and picture frames
Rattle their ancient chains
Midnight will surprise
Moonlight at the door
The night has a thousand eyes
And I don't know why
To live any more
They told me how you loved me
When I finally got the bravery
To look beyond these prison walls
And shadows hanging over me
I cannot find a way to be
A lover for your life, although
They tell me it comes easily
I somehow cannot let the seasons pass
Without demanding that they last
And though I know forever well,
I also know my private hell
Silent voices in the night
They are crying- Sacrifice
One day the rains will come
And wash away the years
Sunlight will fade the tears
Midnight comes too fast
And I don't want
The night to last
I'll cry tonight Night is the enemy Poisons the memory Martyrs it secretly Midnight comes too fast It comes too silently The moon has no mercy now To live anymore One day the rains will come And wash away the tears Sunlight will fade the years Midnight comes too fast And I don't want The night to last Shadows on the glass Faces in window panes Old lace and picture frames Rattle their ancient chains Midnight will surprise Moonlight at the door The night has a thousand eyes And I don't know why To live any more They told me how you loved me When I finally got the bravery To look beyond these prison walls And shadows hanging over me I cannot find a way to be A lover for your life, although They tell me it comes easily I somehow cannot let the seasons pass Without demanding that they last And though I know forever well, I also know my private hell Silent voices in the night They are crying- Sacrifice One day the rains will come And wash away the years Sunlight will fade the tears Midnight comes too fast And I don't want The night to last Explain Request ×
