In the willows

“Thou shalt not harm.
Thou shalt not fade.”
Cry!
Last flame will rise
Behind those eyes.
Dark halls will shake,
Blind hearts won’t lie.
Endless fear,
That whisper clear.
Through shattered walls,
That cry I hear.

Cry, little sister! (Thou shalt not fall)
Come closer, my sister! (Thou shalt not fade)
Release me, sister! (Thou shalt not fear)
Love walks beside you! (Thou shalt not harm)

Midnight masquerade,
Strangers drift by.
When will they see
This empty sky?
Temptation’s fire
Beats like a drum.
Deep in your veins,
I won’t deny,

Little sister! (Thou shalt not fall)
Come closer, my sister! (Thou shalt not fade)
Release me, sister! (Thou shalt not fear)
Love walks beside you! (Thou shalt not harm)

My paradise lost,
I can’t forget
How you were mine.
I need you now!

Cry, little sister! (Thou shalt not fall)
Come closer, my sister! (Thou shalt not fade)
Release me, sister! (Thou shalt not fear)
Love walks beside you! (Thou shalt not harm)

Cry, little sister! (Thou shalt not fall)
Come closer, my sister! (Thou shalt not fade)
Release me, sister! (Thou shalt not fear)
Love walks beside you! (Thou shalt not harm)
