[intro] [Verse 1] It was a dark evil dream, And in it, phantoms among the waves. Maybe it was death, Maybe the wreck of a ship. Some dance, some waltz, As if waltzing in the light of stars, It doubled, it tripled, Sometimes rising, sometimes fading. [Chorus] For a cheerful dream, I will give you Even today the whole world. For a cheerful dream, I can give you In return, what I have. [Verse 2] After a day as hard as a fist, In the shadow of steel clouds, Some ominous dream, Fell on me like a wall. I drank a nightmarish dream As if I were drinking snake venom. Maybe it was death, Maybe it was the wind's weeping. [Chorus] For a cheerful dream, I will give you Even today the whole world. For a cheerful dream, I can give you In return, what I have. [Verse 3] On a night dark as pain, My dream walked through the storm. On a night cold as ice With a sword heavy as sin. And at the blue gates, A cloud grew like fear. The neon storm like a knife, Intruded into my sleep. [Bridge] In the stillness, I found a spark, A whisper of light in the dark. Through shadows, I'll forge my way, Grasping hope that will not sway. Each breath, a step toward the dawn, With dreams reborn, I’ll carry on. [Chorus] For a cheerful dream, I will give you Even today the whole world. For a cheerful dream, I can give you In return, what I have. Awakened by my own scream, My heart beat like a hammer. Fear stuck in me like a thorn, Moistened my pale face with sweat. Maybe it gives a signal, Death, which has sharp fangs. Maybe it’s just the wind, That is sighing outside the window. [Chorus] For a cheerful dream, I will give you Even today the whole world. For a cheerful dream, I can give you In return, what I have.
