Safely locked in a cell I'm sleepless in my bed A prisoner for ages Time is gnawing through my head I kept the secret well That burns me from the inside I fell a darkness grow That swallows every light I bow my head. I clasp my hands For a very last prayer Forgive my sins, your grace begins Where men turn away One night of desperate hours Starlight fading in the light of dawn No might on Earth left to save me When the devil writes my name In a circle of flames I don't think they'll miss me When I'm not seen anymore Much too late I start to feel Things I've never felt before Sympathy and regret Only words until this day Who can teach me how to pray? I bow my head. I clasp my hands For a very last prayer Forgive my sins, your grace begins Where men turn away One night of desperate hours Starlight fading in the light of dawn No might on Earth left to save me When the devil writes my name In a circle of flames
