I lost every trace

[Verse 1] I’ve cut all my veins, I’ve bitten my fingers I’ve written so many letters, but sent none away I walked through the desert, no dawn would it bring us Drank water from poisoned hands, dying by day I gasped for the air like a fish out of water Bathed in the mud and swallowed the sand To a foolish question – a foolish answer Only fear drinks my brain, like juice from my hand [Chorus] The knot of faith is weak – hold it tight, don’t let it slip If you lose it from your hands, you can’t tie it back again [Recitative] You gave me an autumn of peace, the sea and the sun, the caress and the breeze And the salty wind touched your hair with such grace – but you went far away, and I lost every trace (Lost you, lost you) [Verse 2] Oh, so many roads, but they all pass me by, Carrying me far away, tearing me from your side And the sun – that same sun that once knew no rest Doesn’t warm me like before in my chest Where do they all go, all the people around? Lost and forgotten, like trees in a crowd I’m lost in my feelings – I scream: "Help me, please!" But my voice fades away – like a fish, I stay mute [Chorus] The knot of faith is weak – hold it tight, don’t let it slip If you lose it from your hands, you can’t tie it back again [Recitative] You gave me an autumn of peace, the sea and the sun, the caress and the breeze And the salty wind touched your hair with such grace – but you went far away, and I lost every trace [Verse 3] There’s no one to caress these shoulders anymore, No one to read poems or sing love songs for No one to sit with all night till the dawn, Watch as the last falling star flickers and’s gone You left like the snow melts in spring – without sound, You faded away, and God took your soul from this ground [Spoken / A recitative without music, just cymbals, and a powerful ending] Now the candle by your photo is burning so low… I want to be with you, but my time hasn’t come. [Chorus – repeat twice] The knot of faith is weak – hold it tight, don’t let it slip If you lose it from your hands, you can’t tie it back again [Outro Recitative] You gave me an autumn of peace, the sea and the sun, the caress and the breeze And the salty wind touched your hair with such grace – but you went far away, and I lost every trace (Lost you, lost you)
