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
 'till we're ashes in the wind
 
 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
