Lyrics & Translation
[English]
There is a demon
An evil mind
Inside us
Oh I know, I know
We all know the rules
When water will be shed
The wicked witch is.
This is the end of all the miracles
Farewell to you yellow brick road
Everything she is asking for
It all belongs to her
Now she's gone into nothingness
There she waits
Still I can hear her singing in the room
In the room I know she's gone
I've thought "She'll never fail,
All magic will be gone
The day she'll melt away"
This is the end of all the miracles
Still I hear her singing in the dark
Truth has changed, her voice it stays the same
Farewell to you yellow brick road
Still I hear her singing in the dark
While time goes on her voice will fade away
"They are all, they're everything, they are mine
Silver shoes you're mine, you are mine,
You are mine"
Hate will live on
This is the end of all the miracles
Farewell to you yellow brick road
The wicked witch is dead .
