lyrics

I have a clear-cut mission but I feel paralyzed
I am responsible for every progress that I make.
This inner fight is the burden I must bear.

My restless mind
Is full of thoughts,
A vast chaotic space.
Imagination is endless if you dare.

There’s no break,
I will not rest
Until the work is done.
Once in a while I just have to take a breath,
Cause I feel...
So...weak,...burned...out,...al-most...collapsed.

Can you imagine how it feels,
To see the empire fall
Yet nothing works out anymore,
You find yourself lost in a deep black hole.

Breathe...in,...breathe...out...Try...not...to break.

May your light guide me through this dark night.
When I drown put forth your hand
To help me in this fight.
All we do we will do because of you.
By your will it all began and it will end.

It’s too late to stop the change of seasons by yourself.
How did we end up here?
There is no reason to lose your self-esteem.

In this moment of awareness
You understand one could need a helping hand.
Maybe it‘s just imagination,
But who cares as long as you find comfort?

Fold...your...hands...and...pray...for...help.

May your light guide me through this dark night.
When I drown put forth your hand
To help me in this fight.
All we do we will do because of you.
By your will it all began and it will end.

Even if it seems possible
There’s no way out of this hopeless misery
Well, I am confident
That things will go the right direction
For us somehow.

Time will tell
If only we could help.

Fold...your...hands...and...pray...for...help.

May your light guide me through this dark night.
When I drown put forth your hand
To help me in this fight.
All we do we will do because of you.
By your will it all began and it will end.
