Inishmore - Hold Me (When I Die) lyrics

rate me

In this world of rare emotions, <br />

In this world of tight chains.<br />

You're the only one in this wide ocean, <br />

You make the feeling of love prevail.<br />

In the distance you're the shining light, <br />

I'll try to find a way, <br />

So I'm walking on, mile for mile, <br />

But you're not nearer; you're so far away.<br />

<br />

And the sun starts to set, <br />

The horizon is bleeding, <br />

The night arrives like a dark angel.<br />

<br />

I'm lost in a deep forest, <br />

I've lost my way forever.<br />

The light fades away too quickly, <br />

No chance for us to find together.<br />

The clock's ticking, the last hour's fading.<br />

There's no place left to hide.<br />

The last thing you can do for me, <br />

Is hold me, when I die.<br />

<br />

I feel my heart it still is beating, <br />

I know I'm still alive.<br />

This cold night is all around me, <br />

The real world is far behind.<br />

So I'm walking through the darkness, <br />

I hope I'm on the right way.<br />

In my mind is only silence, <br />

But my heart screams, I don't want to stay.<br />

<br />

And you're giving me new power, <br />

I feel you are near, <br />

But the dark angel wants me to bleed.<br />

<br />

My heart is drowning. I can feel.<br />

In this arctic desert of my soul.<br />

It's much too late, no rescue's near, <br />

My mind's in rage, I've lost control.<br />

<br />

The forest clears, an open land, <br />

It hurts my eyes, the light's so clear.<br />

I've finally reached it; it's in my hand<br />

But now it's too late, my treasure dear! <br />

<br />

Now that I found you<br />

My heart will live forever.<br />

I know I could never give up<br />

And finally we're together.<br />

The moon is shinning, time stands still, <br />

There's no need for a place to hide.<br />

Released for the rest of my life, <br />

You hold me as I die.
