I'll cry tonight night is the enemy Poisons the memory Martyrs it secretly Midnight comes too fast It comes too silently The moon has no mercy now to live anymore One day the rains will come and wash away the tears Sunlight will fade the years Midnight comes too fast and I don't want the night to last Shadows on the glass Faces in window panes Old lace and picture frames rattle their ancient chains Midnight will surprise moonlight at the door The night has a thousand eyes and i don't know why to live any more They told me how you loved me when I finally got the bravery to look beyond these prison walls and shadows hanging over me I cannot find a way to be a lover for your life, although they tell me it comes easily I somehow cannot let the seasons pass without demanding that they last and though I know forever well, I also know my private hell Silent voices in the night They are crying- Sacrifice One day the rains will come and wash away the years Sunlight will fade the tears Midnight comes too fast and I don't want the night to last
