Asleep in mid summer's night, a dream like no other
We watched creatures of the sea floating right above us
But thoughts of uncertainty clouded my vision
I know so much about you
and yet nothing at all. . .
and yet nothing at all. . .

For the first time, this place felt like home
I felt like I was no longer a ghost
My heart no longer felt heavy like a stone
as long as you were here
I was able to endure the long nights
and the lonely days that followed me
My Holy Roman empire, please never collapse or decay

What more will you say when I finally hear the truth?
What more will you do when I decide to walk away?

Betrayed by my better senses,
I felt you slip away from my hands that night
Your words like nails on white picket fences
just can't be mended at will
This fragile heart turned into stone
the very moment I had lost all control
My Holy Roman empire by the sea, today is when we'll fall

The song I wrote in the sand slowly faded with the tide
(With) No place to return to
I'll walk alone. . .
