In the growing night
The moonlight shines down on my fears
And adorns all my wretched sorrow

Let it sing with fright
Entwine and immerse in our lives
We can't stop their dance in the dark

The secrets you gave me
Unravel into new meanings
I can't see through the night
Even so I will run blind

Lacrimosa once again
I will love this world's beauty
That is now gone
Dead to my eyes
It vanished that day
Shattered at dawn

Don't let dreams show in your eyes
Hide the light deeper inside
With all the tears
You should have cried
Tormented heart,
You're tainted by your own fears

Cutting through the night
Are wheels of a phantom carriage
That races from the dark as you wake
Does it reach the light?
You're left never knowing its fate
'Cause you've been lured in the flames

Scream and cry
'Till you die
Plead and beg but you won't be heard [never]
By the gods and their ruthless ways
[God's and their ruthless ways]
You're lucky if they're laughing
Lacrimosa!

Next thing you know we will be firewood
We'll be the ones burning down the town
We will fade away
And sins will drown
Someday

Lacrimosa once again
I will love this blood-soaked land
Where I was born
Once so carefree
But that was before
My world was torn.

You don't need His forgiveness
Instead put your faith in me
I'll count the days sullied by tears
I won't forsake
You or this world
Till I break
