I lost my heart on the eastern shore To a whisper on the wind And all that I knew was no more Did I reach my journey's end? All alone here fire's dying Somewhere far away Will I break and give up trying Or burn another day? I wasted half my life But all I ever wanted Was a clearer view of myself I broke my back with all the things That I considered And now there's nothing left of it [Bridge:] And the ashes of fathers Now cover the track In a land where fortune is borrowed In these days where all luck Is just leaving the sad In the air just thoughts full of sorrow [Chorus:] Through all these dark years Full of grief, pain and fears We knew our fate is linked Another darkness, another repose Is what I yield to thee Don't fear the veil nor my cold embrace For it will set you free [Bridge:] And the ashes of fathers Now cover the track In a land where fortune is borrowed In these days where all luck Is just leaving the sad In the air just thoughts full of sorrow [Chorus:] (Through all these dark years) Through all these dark years Full of grief, pain and fears We knew our fate is linked 'Till we're ashes in the wind [Solo: TOBI] Through all these dark years Through all these dark years Through all these dark years
