When you stay alone



When you stay alone,
when you close your eyes tired of the world,
when the stars do not fulfill your wishes,
when the rainbow loses its colors,
when Sisyphus's stone starts rolling down the hill.

When you stay alone,
when the fountain of desire once fails,
when the princess in your heart falls asleep,
when you ask yourself where the youth goes,
when Noah's ark is not there to save you.

When you stay alone
in this world of ruin and lies,
when you realize that there is no love around you,
listen to your heart and feel free to seek me,
I will be a beacon of love in the sea of hate,
ready to sacrifice everything for you,
and to wage war against the stars,
just to have you next to me.
