So let me out of it
Out of the cold
To bring back the light and hope for all
And so if I could get you in
Just for a little while

Into the songs of sorrow
You might understand
Where am I now
Beyond the dawn
(Where) Hope´s turned to dust
At all
Immortal love´s
Fooled by the hands of doom
That love means death
I realized too soon

Caught in the afterlife
I´ve gone too far
When sorrow sang softly and sweet
The air was filled with tears
Full of sadness and grief
When sorrow sang softly and sweet

I feel like screaming
But I can´t breath in
Shall I wane right now
I will not leave this
World of living
Till she has said
Goodbye
Out in the cold
I still wait for her call
And her last kiss
It shall be release
I can´t forget her
Her face will not leave
From the depths of my soul
I long for her

Caught in the afterlife
I´ve gone to far

When sorrow sang softly and sweet
The air was filled with tears
Full of sadness and grief
When sorrow sang softly and sweet

So I heard all about it
Her voice´s so clear
She´s woven both themes in there
Moved me to tears
The world shall hear this sad song
Song of sorrow song of grief
Can´t change the way of his kind
Can´t change the way of her kind

Caught in the afterlife
I´ve gone to far
When sorrow sang softly and sweet
The air was filled with tears

Full of sadness and grief
When sorrow sang softly and sweet
