[English]

Beneath the white fire of the moon

Love's wings are broken all too soon

...

We never learn

Hurt together, hurt alone

Don't you sometimes wish your heart was heart of stone?

We turn the wheel and break the chain

...

Put steel to steel and laugh at pain

...

Where dreamers and castles are made of sand

The road to Eden's is overgrown

Don't you sometimes wish your heart was a made of stone?

Look at the headlines

Big crowd at the crazy house

Long queue for the Joker's shoes

Ten rounds in the ring with love

Do you lose and win or win and lose

Sweet rain like mercy in the night

(Lay me down wash away the sorrow)

Caress my soul and set it right

(Lay me down show me your tomorrow)

Summer tears, winter and the moment's flown

Don't you sometimes wihsh your heart was made of stone

Mercy, mercy wish your heart was a heart of stone

Get the picture

No room for the innocent

Peak season in Lonely Town

Knocked out of the ring by love

Are you down and up or up and down?

I asked the river for a sign

(In my dreams we go on together)

How long is love supposed to shine?

(In my dreams diamonds are forever)

But you and I

We hurt together

Hurt alone

Don't you sometimes wish your heart was heart of stone?

Mercy, mercy wish your heart was a heart of stone

(In a heart of stone, you'll be well protected)

...

(In a heart of stone, love's not resurrected)

...
