The days gone by, remembered well
The sound gone by without your kiss
The sound gone by without you...
The nights so long in golden rooms
my heart so strong in strangest mood
my heart so strong in strangest...
The voice from heaven far above
My eyes look up and touch you...

I shall sleep only in my black mantle
When I attain the evening of these days.
I shall sleep only beneath the blackvault
When I attain the evening of these days.

I shall sleep only in my black mantle...

The days gone by, remembered well
The sound gone by without your kiss
The sound gone by without you...

I shall sleep only in my black mantle
When I attain the evening of these days.
Why then evoke the shade?
Why then try to explain?
Why then evoke the shade?
Why then try to explain?
