[Intro] [whistle] (A lonely wind howls through the empty shore...) [Ouverture] [Instrumental] (Guitar harmonies rise, the sea crashes against the rocks...) [Verse 1] Once there was life, once there was light Now just the echoes remain in the night The harbor is quiet, the streets are bare No voices call, there's no one there [Bridge] But someone stays, through wind and tide He walks alone, with fate as guide His name is carved in sand and stone The last man standing, on his own [Chorus] Herkingen – lost to the waves Herkingen – no soul to save Herkingen – the town stood tall Herkingen – now silence falls [Instrumental] [whistle] (Twin guitar solo, the storm rages...) [Verse 2] Church bells don’t ring, no children play The moonlight fades, the world turns gray The restless tide still sings its song But Alex swears, he'll stay strong [Bridge] His heart still beats, of salt and stone He calls the wind, but he's alone No farewell, no future bright Herkingen sleeps, lost in the night [Chorus] Herkingen – lost to the waves Herkingen – no soul to save Herkingen – the town stood tall Herkingen – now silence falls [Outro] (A distant whistle, the wind carries it away...) [Chorus] Herkingen – lost to the waves Herkingen – no soul to save Herkingen – the town stood tall Herkingen – now silence falls [End] (A final gallop fades into the storm...)
