[Verse 1: Georg Neuhauser]
Out on the silent battlefield
When the killing work is done and the crimson haze has gone
Still lies the deadly sword I wield
And I'm dreaming of your face, have begun to count the days
[Pre-Chorus 1: Georg Neuhauser]
But I fear to face a dreadful fate
I am afraid to lose the one I cherish
[Chorus: Both]
No sun is shining in the sky
On wings of madness we will fly
We can't cross the distance
Away from reason
No sun is shining in your eyes
A shadow growing in disguise
I can't stand the silence
Embracing you at night
[Verse 2: Clémentine Delauney]
Here in the corners of my mind
Is a constant, longing scream, like an echo of a dream
Oh there is always peace to find
In a drop of blood that shines while a lonesome creature whines
[Pre-Chorus 2: Georg Neuhauser]
Can I save you from a dreadful fate
I am afraid to lose the one I cherish
[Chorus: Both]
No sun is shining in the sky
On wings of madness we will fly
We can't cross the distance
Away from reason
No sun is shining in your eyes
A shadow growing in disguise
I can't stand the silence
Embracing you at night
[Guitar Solo]
I see you dancing with your demons
[Chorus: Both]
No sun is shining in the sky
On wings of madness we will fly
We can't cross the distance
Away from reason
No sun is shining in your eyes
A shadow growing in disguise
I can't stand the silence
Embracing you
[Chorus: Both]
No sun is shining in the sky
On wings of madness we will fly
I can't stand the silence
Embracing you at night
