Weep not, O heart, in this madness you crave,
Tears bring naught but ruin, disgrace to the wave.
We, like the shores, by the oceans divided,
Desolate on each side, solitude we've spied.
The sting of dreams shattered, it never departs,
The sting of dreams shattered, it tears at our hearts.
The sting of dreams shattered, it lingers and stings,
Though tears may fall, the fire within still clings.
The sting of dreams shattered, it never departs.
Whether from lips we drink, or from eyes we steal,
Whether from lips we drink, or from eyes we steal,
O tyrant, tyrant, tyrant,
your body's perfume, its fragrance we feel,
O tyrant, your body's perfume, its fragrance we feel,
though tears may fall, the fire within still we feel,
The sting of dreams shattered, it never departs.
If we must meet, let it be here, what is there to fear?
If we must meet, let it be here, what is there to fear?
If we must meet, let it be here, what is there to fear?
A lifetime, a lifetime, my promise-breaker, near,
A lifetime, my promise-breaker, year after year,
though tears may fall, the fire within still we hear,
The sting of dreams shattered, it never departs.
However dense, however deep,
your tresses' shadows keep,
However dense, your tresses keep,
However dense, your tresses keep,
In a single night, in a single night,
In a single night, centuries of weariness seep.
In a single night, centuries of weariness we weep,
though tears may fall, the fire within still we keep,
The sting of dreams shattered, it never departs.
The sting of dreams shattered, it never departs.
The sting of dreams shattered, it never departs.
