Текст песни
September twenty-second, the sky was veiled in grey
A silent tremor in my eyes, as the world just fell away
The stars went out above me, a universe undone
I left to fight a cursed war, beneath a dying sun
My gaze, a fading ember, in the fire of the night
I thought that it was over, I'd lost my final fight
I said goodbye to dreaming, no single hope to hold
Just longed to see the light in you, a story left untold
So many years have fallen, like ashes on the fields
So many winters frozen, your silence was the shield
I shouldn't have survived it, I shouldn't have come back
I shouldn't see you standing on this winding, broken track
It all should be just memory, all turned to dust and grey
But fate, it played a cruel joke and led me here today
And through the pain and emptiness, the ruin and the grime
I see her now, the one I lost... my love... for all of time
I still can feel the thunder, I still can taste the shell
I learned to keep on living in a world that turned to hell
Forgot the scent of summer grass, the whisper of the stream
But your face was my salvation, a recurring, waking dream
A phantom in the desert, a mirage that kept me sane
It gave me strength to just exist, to carry all the pain
I pushed right through the darkness, not knowing what's ahead
Convinced my final chapter had already been read
So many years have fallen, like ashes on the fields
So many winters frozen, your silence was the shield
I shouldn't have survived it, I shouldn't have come back
I shouldn't see you standing on this winding, broken track
It all should be just memory, all turned to dust and grey
But fate, it played a cruel joke and led me here today
And through the pain and emptiness, the ruin and the grime
I see her now, the one I lost... my love... for all of time
Was it a blessing or a curse to make it through the fight?
To walk back from the shadows and step into the light?
To find the world kept turning, while mine had stood so still
And see the ghost I clung to standing on this lonely hill
So many years have fallen... like ashes on the fields
So many winters frozen... your silence was the shield
It all should be just memory, all turned to dust and grey
But fate, it played a cruel joke and led me here today
And through the pain and emptiness, the ruin and the grime
I see you now, the one I lost... my love
You're finally... mine
