Текст песне : Tristania. Illumination. The Ravens.

Only ashes and bones remain
My hair is wet, my eyes are sore

The past has been fed to the flames
I cannot breathe any more

I try to stand on my feet, but I fall
I try to walk, but I crawl
Live as we knew it is over, and you are gone

Forever gone

I will not bend
To our cross
I will not kneel
At your feet

Greed and anger
Made us younger
Couldn't save us when the tower fell

All my strength and
All my hunger
All is lost and none will live to tell

In the ruins of days gone by
A young affection, a velvet sky
A slave to greed

I do not feel regret anymore
I sense a presence of birds
Encircling me
And I am gone

Forever gone

I will not bend
To our cross
I will not kneel
At your feet

Greed and anger
Made us younger
Couldn't save us when the tower fell

All my strength and
All my hunger
All is lost and none will live to tell

Do you study me?

Dark
In the night
Dead
In the moon

I will not kneel
I will not kneel

I Would rather die facing my doom

I will not kneel
I will not kneel
