Song Lyrics

Take away these hands of darkness
Reaching for my soul
Now the cold wind blows out my candles
Feeling only fear, without any hope

A thousand dark moons, a thousand winters long
A million fallen stars, the candle burns in the womb

We try not to forget, they live through us
Slowly they die away at every candle's end

A thousand dark moons, a thousand winters long
A million fallen stars, the candle burns in the womb

We try not to forget, they live through us
Slowly they die away at every candle's end

Robert Westerholt, Sharon J. Den Adel
