As my eyes clear, I see ghosts from my past.
They haunt me as the very day they arrived.
All these things which I try to leave behind,
They always find me.

Where can I run to, where can I hide?
Where can I hide my face so I am not recognised?

Hope - you torture me
Despair - you welcome me
Love - you torment me
Life - you bury me

You bury my life in death,
Everything I touch withers.
Everything I love for dies.
And only I remain.

Nightmare, how can I be rid of thee?

You bury my body in death,
Everything I touch withers.
Everything I love for dies.
And only I remain.

Hope - you torture me
Despair - you welcome me
Love - you torment me
Life - you bury me

"I tell you true, not to condemn yourself,
But to quietly leave your life.
All these things that you hope for - hope is gone.
Come, hold me, do not be afraid,
I will carry you in my arms..."
