Once born to wing hope
Once destined for Esperance
A promise I never gave
Tell me, am I running away?
Tell me, am I running away?
Tell me, am I running away?
For all I became, for all that has led me here -
Now finally it's up to me
And now with that burden of soul ("We are still by your side")
I'm sorry, this way I can't go
When I saw a contemptible world
I just thought I'd clean up the dirt
Glad I lived artificially only
Tell me, am I running away?
Tell me, am I running away?
Tell me, am I running away?
Now I'm here at the end of my way
I deceived - your trust I betrayed
I apologize, have not the heart to do so
I wonder if back in old days ("Still encoded at heart")
Would be such an easier way?
Freed from my binds I will return back in time to
Delete and untie all that I learned and denied, I reset!
For I learned the human abyss in contradictory consciousness
Finally my roots have retrieved me
Hear me, do not regret!
Believe me, our hope's far from dead!
Come back
Come back, try it again? Peace of insignificance!
Come back, hear me
Cycle of a new life - you're able to decide
Paper blank in pure white - all you need
Creator of your own drive - your script still undescribed
This is not a goodbye you will see
Keep it in your memory, fragments of yourself
Create again your history, we believe, we believe!
