WITHIN TEMPTATION
- Candles Lyrics / with translationsTake away
These hands of darkness
Reaching for my soul
Now, the cold wind,
Blows out my candles
Feeling,
Only fear,
Without any hope
A thousand dark moons
A thousand winters long
A million fallen stars,
The candle burns in the womb
We tried not to forget,
They live through us
Slowly they die away at every candle's end
A thousand dark moons
A thousand winters long
A million fallen stars,
The candle burns in the womb
We tried not to forget
They live through us
Slowly they die away at every candle's end
These hands of darkness
Reaching for my soul
Now, the cold wind,
Blows out my candles
Feeling,
Only fear,
Without any hope
A thousand dark moons
A thousand winters long
A million fallen stars,
The candle burns in the womb
We tried not to forget,
Slowly they die away at every candle's end
A thousand dark moons
A thousand winters long
A million fallen stars,
The candle burns in the womb
We tried not to forget
They live through us
Slowly they die away at every candle's end
