What a mystery,
The darkness you hate is so hard to release.
Addicted to the very things that make your soul decease,
That make your soul decease.
But I have loved you.
I will fight to bring you back to me.
The war will pass,
But the peace shall never cease.
The veil is torn, the captives free.
Go forth and let it ring.
Arise, O sleepers, leave your graves empty.
Death has lost its sting.
O Death has lost its sting.
For I have loved you.
I will fight to bring you back to me.
The war will pass,
But the peace shall never cease.
So run, my child, run,
But the race is already won.
O come my child, come,
Until our hearts are one.
O run my child, run,
But the race is already won.
O come my child, come,
Until our hearts are one.
