Lyrics

Feel my heart burning

Deep inside, yearning

I know it is coming

A fettered heart, waking

Tainted youth, fading

Leave it all behind

Delirious again

Mesmerize my senses

Souls entwine one more time

All our times will come

Searching oblivion

Leaving nothing but the memories of

All the things you give

They're all you'll leave behind

Within their mind

Open laughter held in distant days

Eternal stars have changed

I know that it can't be the same

There's no lament for you tonight

Feel my heart burning

Deep inside, yearning

I know it is coming

All our times will come

Searching oblivion

Leaving nothing but the memories of

All the things you give

They're all you'll leave behind

Within their mind

Time recedes every day

And you can search your soul but you won't see

As we pass ever on and away

Towards some blank infinity

Turkish Translation

Kalbimin yandığını hisset

Derinlerde, özlem içinde

Biliyorum geliyor

Bağlı bir kalp, uyanıyor

Lekelenmiş gençlik, soluyor

Her şeyi geride bırak

Tekrar delirmiş gibi

Duyularımı büyüle

Ruhlar bir kez daha birleşiyor

Tüm zamanlarımız gelecek

Unutuşu ararken

Geride sadece verdiğin şeylerin anıları kalıyor

Hepsi, geride bırakacağın şeyler

Zihinlerinde

Uzak günlerde tutulan açık kahkaha

Ebedi yıldızlar değişti

Biliyorum artık aynı olamaz

Bu gece senin için bir yas yok

Kalbimin yandığını hisset

Derinlerde, özlem içinde

Biliyorum geliyor

Tüm zamanlarımız gelecek

Unutuşu ararken

Geride sadece verdiğin şeylerin anıları kalıyor

Hepsi, geride bırakacağın şeyler

Zihinlerinde

Zaman her gün geriliyor

Ve ruhunu arayabilirsin ama göremeyeceksin

Biz sürekli geçip uzaklaşırken

Bir boş sonsuzluğa doğru
