Lost in this haze, I swim in the mist for days at a time You come to a point where one must act on his words A broken resolve, a path carved into the mountains heart One last escape, the only light in this darkness Into the unknown, my spirit has flown Its time now to follow The wraith of my dreams tears apart at the seams With the sight of my captor No escape In the sapphire starlight Its my trial of fears Come with me to the shadows As hell appears And so Im discovered, my fathers rage inflamed and provoked They call me a traitor Its not betrayal to run from your pain, but certainly shameful And so I sit and await my trial Theyve taken my friends away, extinguished their chances of happy lives Im dead on my feet they sit in their seats and pierce me with dead eyes They question my pride, they threaten my life My future is uncertain Austrias plans will soon come to light A happenstance benefit now that is ripe Youve offered your future as king of this realm Reverse what you plea as the moon turns to stone Where are you taking him? Leave him alone Dear Friedrich, I must say goodbye Its time for my star now to fade in the night Be strong and dont break your own will A brave man who kneels there with tears in his eyes The sword in the sun wants to fall My head to the bars so I cant look away By god I will make you all pay! No escape In the sapphire sunbeams Piercing through to my cell Come with me to the shadows As hell appears I am swimming in anger I will make them all burn Not for this flash in the pan, but the whole damn situation
