Once in a Lifetime
Wolfsheim Lyrics

It´s getting dark... too soon... a threatening silence...
The environment is getting very unpleasant, and it's getting darker than it should be. There is an eerie silence that indicates something terrible is coming.

Surrounding me... a wind comes up from the islands...
I feel alone and surrounded by a strong wind blowing in from the islands, which exacerbates the threatening silence.

Distance fades to stormy grey
The distance between me and my loved ones is getting farther, and my situation is worsening, and the view is getting cloudy grey as if a storm is approaching.

Washed out from the deep of the ocean
My dreams and hopes are swept away and forgotten, buried deep in the ocean, where no one can reach them.

Here I will stand to face your wrath...
Even though I am afraid, I will not run away. Instead, I will confront whatever God has in store for me.

While all the others are praying
Everyone else seeks refuge in prayer relieving a troubled mind, but I am standing alone bravely facing the dreadful wrath.

No rain can wash away my tears
Regardless of how much life is tough on me, my tears cannot be wiped away quickly, and they last forever.

No wind can soothe my pain
As much as the wind calms down or agitates, it will never soothe the pain deeply embedded within me.

You made me doubt, you made me fear
The pain and agony you caused left me filled with doubt that eroded my confidence, and am always afraid of what's going to happen next.

But now I´m not the same
I am no longer the same person you used to know. The pain changed me completely.

You took my wife, my unborn son...
You took everything that I cherished from me; my wife, my unborn child, leaving me in despair and a broken state.

Torn into the deep of the ocean
As much as I tried to recover from your wrongdoings, I find myself drowning in the depths of the ocean with the hopes and dreams I had before.

And when silence comes back to me
During the times when all is quiet, I feel quite alone and have to face up to my innermost demons.

I find myself feeling lonely
As a result of what you put me through, loneliness has become my companion, and I am powerless against it.

Standing here on the shores of destiny
I am standing here with no other choice; this is where destiny brought me to, and I have to face it alone.

I had a life to give... many dreams to live...
I was full of enthusiasm and energy, I had a life to offer, numerous aspirations to follow, and was eager to pursue those dreams.

Don´t you know that you´re losing so much this time
You are losing a lot this time, and you might not even realize it due to the selfish things you've done.

Beyond the waves... I will be free
Beyond the tumultuous seas, there is freedom from the pain, and I will find peace.

The love in you, it does not burn,
Your relationship is without any passion or fire, lacking the feel of love between you both. I don't know of any lesson you can learn regarding it.

There is no lesson you can learn
I don't know the lesson you can learn from the feeling of being unloved, but it is evident that something isn't right.

And there are sounds you cannot hear,
As much as we try to listen, there are sounds or messages you refuse to hear, indicating a deep-rooted problem between you.

And there are feelings you can´t feel
It's difficult to feel anything for each other if the connection or chemistry is absent that keeps the spark alive, leading to problems.

And this time I´m not scared of you
This time, I am not afraid of you nor of what might transpire, my scars may avert the fear away from me, but I am ready to face whatever is necessary to keep moving forward.
