Rotersand Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You saw the light and took your mother's breath away
I am with you when you fade
When your soldier's laying down his blunted blade
Once you'll stay with me, I will set you free
Forever free from all your worries and your vanity
There's no need to fear, I will hold you dear
I am with you when you laugh
With sudden joy that makes you praise the gods above
I am with you when you cry
When all you ask is why and there is no reply
