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
