Once in a Lifetime Songtext
von Wolfsheim

It′s getting dark
Too soon
A threatening silence
Surrounding me
A wind
Comes up from the islands
Distance fades
To stormy grey
Washed out from
The deep of your ocean

Here I will stand
To face your wrath
While all the others are praying


Calm down my heart
Don't beat so fast
Don′t be afraid
Just once in a lifetime
Calm down my heart
Don't beat so fast
Don't be afraid
Just once in a lifetime

No rain can wash away my tears
No wind can soothe my pain
You made me doubt
You made me fear
But now I′m not the same
You took my wife
My unborn son
Tore him to the deep of the ocean
I don′t pretend that I love you
'Cause there is nothing left to lose


And when silence comes back to me
I find myself feeling lonely
Standing here on the shores of destiny
I find myself feeling lonely
I had a life to give
Many dreams to live
Don′t you know
That you're losing so much this time
Beyond the waves
I will be free

While all the others are praying
Calm down my heart
Don′t beat so fast
Don't be afraid
Just once in a lifetime
Calm down my heart
Don′t beat so fast
Don't be afraid
Just once in a lifetime

No rain can wash away my tears
No wind can soothe my pain
You made me doubt
You made me fear
But now I'm not the same
You took my wife
My unborn son
Tore him to the deep of the ocean
I don′t pretend that I love you
′Cause there is nothing left to lose

The love in you
It does not burn
There is no lesson you can learn
And there are sounds
You cannot hear
And there are feelings you can't feel

Calm down my heart
Don′t beat so fast
Don't be afraid
Just once in a lifetime

I don′t pretend that I love you
And this time I'm not scared of you
