I sat there alone upon the ferris wheel
A pastel-colored carriage in the air
I thought you'd leave me dangling for a little while
A silly twist upon a childish dare
Below I saw you whisper to another man
Who held the lever that could bring me down
He stopped the world from turning at your command
It's always something cruel when left to drown
Chorus
I can hardly hear the music from the carousel
The wind picks up, the carriage starts to sway
And one by one the lights go out, it's closing time
I see you take his hand and walk away
Walk away
They say that you are always the last to know
They say that all that glitters is not gold
It's not just that you're never coming back to me
It's the bitter way that I was told.
Chorusmy guiding star shows me the path
to gates of dawn that lie shining
its signs and magic lights lead me
through this labyrinth of darkness
tempting me and enticing me
the hour of examination has come
I have come to crossing lights
and one tries to blind me
dark shadows try to lead astray
shading me blunting me
pulling at me with all their might
they caress and blind and touch me
pulling at me with all her might
the seductive queen of night calls
escape the dark that hides and gives you a shelter and guard
why confront the sun's burning rays that will be your decline
fate can't be questioned
the cards have all been laid
useless uprising
surrender to the laws of man's nature turn back in time
isn't the night the one that makes lifetime berarable
play man's game
that eternally will be
useless uprising
Queen of the night don't poison me
with your scents that numb my mind and all betray
I won't give in to our reality
that contains a being that doesn't satisfy
fountains of light
will finally prove me right
