Until My Last Breath

Tarja Turunen · Act I [2012]

Cannot cry it loud enough

I'm giving up this ghost

How can I still justify

When you deny my voice

In this nothing I'm not allowed

I just follow alone

Words as weapons without a sound

Echoes dying unborn



Until my last breath

You'll never know

Until you feel the silence

When I am gone

Now it's vanishing

Everything

What we might have been

Only now your prays call my name

But you won't see again



Who can change this memory?



Inside it needs to burn

Worship by the enemy

The guilty take their turns

Watching as it's disappearing

Shadows all that remain

Wishes slowly crossing over

In this parade of pain



Until my last breath

You'll never know

Until you feel the silence

When I am gone

Now it's vanishing

Everything

What we might have been

Only now your prays call my name

But you won't see again
