[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]

Give yourself up to me!
[Verse 2]

Trying to silence the fear within me
Out of the night and mist I felt a stinging kiss
And saw a crimson stain on her lips

My dear one, don't you be afraid
[Chorus]
Forsaken, I have come for you tonight
Awaken, look in my eyes and take my hand
Give yourself up to me!
[Bridge]
Take me far away!
Close your eyes and hold your breath
To the ends of the earth!
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Forsaken, I have come for you tonight
Awaken, look in my eyes and take my hand
Forsaken, fly away with me tonight
Awaken, renew my life, now you are mine
Give yourself up to me!
