lyrics

Father, can you tell me
What is life without a question "why"?
I hear the voices, they call my name
And I hold the torch before an open door

Someday we'll know all answers Someday we will choose our way (into the light)
Behold, twelve candles around us
Welcome to the road astray

I'll lead you to the land of passion
Open your mind and read the lines
The Book of Spirits takes away from our world
To the places that you'll never realize

To be alone or to be free
From chains of sorrow and despair
There's no place for me, forever

We run through halls
Of thousands mirrors of the lie
Don't watch in your destiny's eyes

Revival of my soul, rebirth of my existence
I know it's all deception and grand illusion
New meaning, new knowledge and new horizons gone
And I have lived to crush this confusion

Revival of my soul, rebirth of my existence
I know it's all deception and grand illusion
New meaning, new knowledge and new horizons gone
And I have lived to tell it all to you

(Together we'll find the road
To home from unholy world
We follow the candlelight
Oh, Father, please help us to fight)

I wonder why people do wrong things
To know more than you and me
And to try to forget once again

What is life without a question "why"?
At the same time we always lie
But I can't anymore

Do you hear this cry of souls
From the abyss of sins and of falls?
Be strong and be yourself on your way

I still remember this castle with its
Burning candles so bright
Have you ever been so scared?
