Esmeralda lyrics

I’m blinded, now I see that I,
Could not hold you, my orange tree leaf
In the darkened room for three of us to share
 
Maybe you were free
Before my blackened wound covered you
I took the same from your song
I made a bet
 
We don’t belong
 
Poor me, she fell beneath the wheels to help me out,
Black sea, I failed to be the light, you found it alone
Oh, poor me, she fell beneath the wheels to help me out,
Black sea, the monster killed the melody you love
 
And now I’m going places on my own
 
Blinded, now I see the death
Moves amongst us and leaves such easy raft
To surround us, this silent piece, too hard to bare
 
Lonely, oh, no, not me,
I have a grave to dig, fast moving feet,
You gave me light, where once was gone
I made a bet
 
We don’t belong
Poor me, she fell beneath the wheels to help me out,
Black sea, I failed to be the light, you found it alone
Oh, poor me, she fell beneath the wheels to help me out
Black sea, the monster killed the melody you loved
 
And now I’m going places on my own
All alone
