I was in my castle, I was in my room
One more fortress of solitude... For a song
I was only waiting there for you
To see if we could identify the truth
Windows on the east side
Walls closing, all flowers starved of a life

Shine on, brothers and sisters, shine on
Keep on living when the reaper breaks the dawn
Fight on, all you lovers, fight on
Yeah we carry on

I will make my way in a world so free
All the lonely roads will carry me
Were you my enemy or my friend?
Whole life searching
No wiser in the end
My intuition is blind
Last exit homeward is far behind

Shine on, brothers and sisters, shine on
Keep on living when the reaper breaks the dawn
Fight on, all you lovers, fight on
Yeah we carry on

I was only waiting there for you
To see if we could identify the truth

Shine on, brothers and sisters, shine on
Keep on living when the reaper breaks the dawn
Fight on, all you lovers, fight on
Yeah we carry on
Yeah we carry on
