Under the spell Of a greenish moon My heart has sailed the seven seas Going mad with rage Please tell me why Something strange Makes me drown in my own tears A voice within me said it was love What new trick is this? Her kiss for me is death
For your sake for your sake You ′ve taken lights out of my eyes Stealing my heart Burning my love Ripping my soul A black mark that means Dead and gone
Mercy on me Cruelty is tearing dreams I ′m falling headlong in disgrace Painful to behold I can but weep
A hole in my soul Drives me to despair A tragic end swallows my hopes I ′m forever lost Her kiss for me is death
By the moon ′s dying light Wait for me I ′m so far away Like the faint light Of a cold star My love has fallen asleep As dried leaf settled On icy marble Like the cold breath Of a winter night…
