[Verse 1]
In silence enshrined through ages
A dying beauty on a journey far
Fading roses enchants the garden
Sleeping, dreaming of my bride
In quiescence faces borders the path
On the shore of no hope, I am stranded
Fading roses enchants my grave
Sleeping, dreaming of my bride
[Bridge]
Lift my remains from water violent
Unite the body with a serene sky
Enlighten my wounds with your healing tongue
The portrait is kissed in a solemn night
[Verse 2]
In silence enshrined through ages
A rotten beauty on a journey far
Blackened roses celebrate my death
How I never could reach my bride
Putrid faces engulf the path
To the shore of no hope, a bridge
Blackened roses in the cradle of sleep
Whispers "Our death is eternal"
[Verse 3]
In silence, I fall through sorrows
A dying lord on an eternal journey
Your face is torn and lifeless
And the passage is locked now forever
Tearful my face borders the path
Sleeping, dreaming of my bride
And freezing, my soul is praying
"Take me the way, through the night"
