<poem>Rolling, crashing, breaking, smashing, | |||
Giving, taking, making, breaking promises | |||
Father, mother, sisters, brother | |||
My best friend, my lover, my destroyer | |||
Believe, I believe | |||
Every time I build the castle | |||
High upon the shore it happens again | |||
It happens again | |||
??? comes here | |||
He comes here | |||
I come, closer and closer | |||
Crashing ??? | |||
I can't forget the way | |||
I can't forget the way | |||
I can't forget the way | |||
I can't forget | |||
???</poem> | |||
