Once upon a time

once upon a time,
a sailor sailed away into the sunrise,
hope was high
but death came quickly,
the sky turned black and
the sea turned red
tears started falling from the girls eyes
it was the end of all hope.

help me not to see,
teach me how not to feel,
my tears are just water,
a reflection of sadness

help me not to hate,
teach me how not to despair,
my tears are just water,
a reflection of sadness.

once upon a time,
solders marched away into the sundown,
hope was high,
but death came quickly,
the sky turned black and
the fields turned red.
tears started falling from the girls eyes,
it was the end of all hope.

help me not to see,
teach me how not to feel,
my tears are just water,
a reflection of sadness

help me not to hate,
teach me how not to despair,
my tears are just water,
a reflection of sadness.

my eyes are closing slowly
under the dark of the sun,
my soul is slowly dying
under the evil sky.
why does it have to be this way?
why do i have to suffer?
my eyes are closing slowly,
tombs come crashing down
and the earth and sky became one...

help me not to see,
teach me how not to feel,
my tears are just water,
a reflection of sadness

help me not to hate,
teach me how not to despair,
my tears are just water,
a reflection of sadness.
