You are beautiful and you are alone.
Often the adolescent plagueReward your graceConfuse your hunger capture the fake...
Banish the faceless reward your graceBanish the faceless reward your grace.
He came your way And when he had to go There were roses growing in the snow Silently you'll go to the shadow of your soul And you know that it was like this before we had to go You will never see these lights Glowing in your nights Until you feel this way.
With every moon it is as though you're getting closer to your soul And then you go alone and with no fear Then you will know That it was like this before we had to go And you will find that you were blind Until you saw these lights glowing in your nights.
You will never see these lightsGlowing in your nights If you don't know And there are roses growing in the snow.
