once in a lifetime

it’s getting dark too soon
a threatening silence surrounding me
a wind comes up from the islands
when distance fades to stormy grey
washed out from the deep of the ocean
here i will stand to face your wrath
while all the others are praying

calm down, my heart – don’t beat so fast
don’t be afraid, just once in a lifetime
calm down, my heart – don’t beat so fast
don’t be afraid, just once in a lifetime

no rain can wash away my tears
no wind can soothe my pain
you made me doubt, you made me fear
but now i’m not the same
you took my wife, my unborn son
torn into the deep of the ocean
i don’t pretend that i love you
cause there is nothing left to lose

and when silence comes back to me
i find myself feeling lonely
standing here on the shores of destiny
i find myself feeling lonely
i had a life to give, many dreams to live
don’t you know that you’re losing so much this time?
beyond the waves, i will be free
while all the others are praying

calm down my heart – don’t beat so fast
don’t be afraid, just once in a lifetime
calm down my heart – don’t beat so fast
don’t be afraid, just once in a lifetime

no rain can wash away my tears
no wind can soothe my pain
you made me doubt you made me fear
but now i’m not the same
you took my wife, my unborn son
torn into the deep of the ocean
i don’t pretend that i love you
cause there is nothing left to lose

the love in you, it does not burn
there is no lesson you can learn
and there are sounds you cannot hear
and there are feelings you can’t feel

calm down, my heart – don’t beat so fast
don’t be afraid, just once in a lifetime

i don’t pretend that i love you
and this time i’m not scared of you
