Let my sweat bear its fruit,
For in each drop there is gold.
Let me rejoice in youth.
The gods care less when I'm old.

Let me hold my head high;
Too long have I bowed in shame.
Let me blaze through the sky;
Guilt has cast on me all blame.

Take back your words, my dear.
I have vowed to silence them.
How empty is my fear,
Yet it's through them that I'm damned.

How my foes have risen!
Hear my enemies rejoice,
When they heard I've fallen
For the magic in your voice.

Bury our past tonight.
Must you resurrect the dead?
Burn it in the firelight.
The dead do not want us glad.

Can you hear my heart scream?
I have been cursed from above.
Give me back all my dreams.
I have never loved in love.

If you love me, tell me.
But kill me not with a lie.
If you want me, tell me.
Let me know before I die.
