So little time
   Your crystal eyes gaze into mine
   A burning flame
   Forever dreaming, dreaming a lie
  
   Trapped inside internal eyes
   Caressed by innocence, a sanctuary for you mind
   Born alone beneath pale sardonic skies
   One love, one life, one sorrow
  
   I won't reproach myself this time
   A condemned man, granted a sweet reprieve
   A turn of fate, a genial twist of the knife
   Undying affection for life
