Days had come, winters had gone
And we gambled like siblings in paradise
I was your knight, holding you tight
As a brother when I saw your crying eyes
Time went by and we had to say goodbye

Staring up to the clouds above, children so little and sad
Hoping the saints could help one day, lead us together again
Holding the key to the alley of dreams still in hands

Time telling me to say farewell
But I knew that I would fight hell and I know we will
Go for another time, we can see for another time
We’ll be free for no more farewell

Time telling me to say farewell
But I knew that I would fight hell and I know we will
Go for another time, we can see for another time
We’ll be free for no more farewell

Stepbrother tell me where have you been?
When they brought me to this godforsaken place
Sign of the cross, they took me away
For healing with herbs by the way of grace
Now I wait for the day to feed the flames

I have been caught in a cage of despair
My heart as a monk’s cell so empty and bare
No holy water can make me forget you again

Time telling me to say farewell
But I knew that I would fight hell and I know we will
Go for another time, we can see for another time
We’ll be free for no more farewell

Time telling me to say farewell
But I knew that I would fight hell and I know we will
Go for another time, we can see for another time
We’ll be free for no more farewell

Time telling me to say farewell
But I knew that I would fight hell and I know we will
Go for another time, we can see for another time
We’ll be free for no more farewell

Time telling me to say farewell
But I knew that I would fight hell and I know we will
Go for another time, we can see for another time
We’ll be free for no more farewell

Time telling me to say farewell
But I knew that I would fight hell and I know we will
Go for another time, we can see for another time
We’ll be free for no more farewell

Time telling me to say farewell
But I knew that I would fight hell and I know we will
Go for another time, we can see for another time
We’ll be free for no more farewell

Time telling me to say farewell
But I knew that I would fight hell and I know we will
Go for another time, we can see for another time
We’ll be free for no more farewell

Time telling me to say farewell
But I knew that I would fight hell and I know we will
Go for another time, we can see for another time
We’ll be free for no more farewell

Time telling me to say farewell
