Allen-Lande Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

At first it seems like there is no life
No hope and no dreams
Only embraced by the silence
You know it's here the time has arrived
When the past will be erased
And all your dark thoughts will fade away

You can change it

Only you can
Turn all into gold
Make everything glow again
Make the stars shine
The world is yours and mine

It burdens your heart, haunting your mind
Knowing that you are the only one
That can save yourself
An army of ghosts whisper in your ear
Making you hesitate
Making you stay in the dark

You can change it
Only you can
Turn all into gold
Make everything glow again
Make the stars shine
The world is yours
Turn all into gold
Make everything glow again
Make the stars shine
The world is yours and mine

Only you can change it
Only you, only you can
Turn all into gold
Make everything glow again
Make the stars shine
The world is yours
Turn all into gold
Make everything glow again

Make the stars shine
The world is yours and mine
