i lost my life one day,
she took a course in error,
and flew away in sorrow,
i was my ancestors,
fierce and unmerciful.
.
i lost my life one day,
and lived in anger,
in a dark cave,
demons on the walls,
then, a small glow...
.
i lost my life one day,
a light grew in my heart,
it was the song of love,
piercing my thoughts,
tearing at my blackness.
.
i found my love one day,
living in an abyss,
war broke out within me,
hate and love with swords,
the battles were many.
.
i lost a war one day,
the glow kept growing,
her fear still swelling,
love resumed the fights,
and won.
.
i want my love today,
my dreams are paradise,
i rode a horse name Hope,
and wrote tender pages,
my tears never ended.
.
i want my love today,
my happiness,
i want to rest in her,
that she may believe again,
i threw death away.
.
i want my life today,
i've thrown death away,
i ........... please
.
