Lyrics

Translation
Bilingual
You walk the path where shadows grow
To find the monster in the snow
You see the ruin on my face
The scars that time cannot erase
I told you run, I told you fly
But you remain to watch me cry
You fell in love with broken things
With raven feathers, not with wings
You see the rot beneath the skin
And yet you want to let me in
I tremble as you stand so near
Paralyzed by hope and fear
The poison flows beneath my skin
But love is where I must begin
Oh do not fear the shadow's touch
I love you far too deep and much
I swear by every star above
I will not hurt the one I love
This curse is just a heavy chain
A bond of sorrow and of pain
So lay your head upon my knee
And stay a little while with me
I touch a flower and it fades
I walk in sun and bring the shades
My gentle hands are stained with gray
From life I did not mean to slay
The guilt is heavy in my chest
I only want to let it rest
And yet you offer me your heart
You want to be a living part
Without you I am dust and bone
A queen upon a hollow throne
If I am left within this wood
I lose the last of what is good
You are the anchor in the storm
The only thing that keeps me warm
Oh do not fear the shadow's touch
I love you far too deep and much
I swear by every star above
I will not hurt the one I love
This curse is just a heavy chain
A bond of sorrow and of pain
So lay your head upon my knee
And stay a little while with me
You step a little closer now
I see the sweat upon your brow
You know the risk, you know the cost
To love a soul so deeply lost
But I will hold my bated breath
To save you from a gentle death
I'll wrap my darkness in a song
And prove the superstitions wrong
We'll build a haven in the gloom
A love that blooms inside the tomb
As long as you are by my side
The curse has nowhere left to hide
I'd place my soul upon the shelf
To save you even from myself!
Oh do not fear the shadow's touch
I love you far too deep and much
I swear by every star above
I will not hurt the one I love
This curse is just a heavy chain
A bond of sorrow and of pain
So lay your head upon my knee
And stay a little while with me
Stay a little while with me
