[English]

Feel the rhythm of the streets

Near lights and near dreams

Bloody-faced, they feel no pain

When there's so much more to gain

Hunting season, if you will

Tell me where you'd rather be

I can hardly see the moon

Hope we'll get there pretty soon

Trying so hard to release

You out of the misery

Hold on to your wishes

If you can't hold on to me

Forgive me for letting you down

Forgive me For letting you down again

I guess I'm not strong enough

Right now

They will finally feel the flames

Flames that run down Through my veins

I will make the city burn

We're not planning to return

Trying so hard to be free

To make you see what I see

Hold on to your wishes

If you can't hold on to me

Forgive me for letting you down

Forgive me For letting you down again

I guess I'm not strong enough

Right now

Forgive me for letting you down

Forgive me For letting you down again

I guess I'm not strong enough

Right now

Oh, my love

Love

Love

Oh, let you down Oh, let you down
