Back against the wind
So I could breathe
A cold winter's kiss
No chance to retreat
I'm drowning myself
So I could feel, something, anything
Closer and closer to losing control
My breaking point
In the year of the dragon
A long black tunnel
The light at the end
The wind from the south
Awakens my heart from dormant sleep
I step into the sun
But the darkness drags me down again
Into the empire of fear
Screaming out from the depths
Where day is dark as night
Inside the empire of fear
Screaming out for attention
For my carnal remains but no one hears
The fall has come to me
Much colder than it used to be
Swept my mind away
To dark corners of my internal world
Where the rain feels like a burden on my shoulder
Into the empire of fear
Screaming out from the depths
Where day is dark as night
Inside the empire of fear
Screaming out for attention
For my carnal remains but no one hears
The great winter is here
To put me into the ground
Eternal sleep
Came with the curse
Killing me from inside - certainly
But don't let me go to the otherside
Don't let me go to the eternal light
The empire of fear
Screaming out from the depths
Where day is dark as night
The empire of fear
Screaming out for attention
And the world will listen now
At the end of the year of the dragon
