I stand above his grave
On a path that I did pave
His frail and fragile heart
The veil that keeps us apart

The weak mortal boys
My midsummer toys
They crumble like flowers
Gone within hours

But I must give in
To this mortal sin
Can no one hear me screaming?
I'm stuck in time
This life ain't mine
Around me life is teeming

Once every year
It's in my nature, I fear
When I dance with the fireflies
Another youth dies

Love is my curse
In this universe
With dust in my heart
Time set us apart

But I must give in
To this mortal sin
Can no one hear me screaming?
I'm stuck in time
This life ain't mine
Around me life is teeming

I'm tired and old
My lovers leave me cold
I dream of darkness to come
Sleep, will I get some?
A life once sweet and bold
A poisoned meal I've been sold

But I must give in
To this mortal sin
Can no one hear me screaming?
I'm stuck in time
This life ain't mine
Around me life is teeming"
