[Intro] [Chorus] Shadow of my elusive love, image of the spell I treasure, beautiful illusion, for whom I gladly die, sweetest fiction, for whom I live in pain. [Verse] Stop, shadow of my elusive love, don't leave your footsteps to the night, we walk alike, we tread the ground, we carry on with equal stride, so don't run from me without a reason, don't disappear and leave me behind. Image of the spell I treasure, your face is fading out of view, I cannot even understand the whispered words that come from you. Your languid shape along my way still leaves its sorrow in my eyes. [Instrumental] Beautiful illusion, for whom I gladly die, it seems the footsteps of the past left countless traces by my side. They carved their marks into my soul, and every one remains in sight. Sweetest fiction, for whom I live in pain, stop now, don't turn your eyes away, stop now, my worn-out shadow, stay, and rest a while, for time is relative anyway. [Bridge] Oh, wounded life of mine, let every footstep find its way, and underneath the shadow of fate, let me watch the passing day. [Instrumental] [Chorus] Shadow of my elusive love, image of the spell I treasure, beautiful illusion, for whom I gladly die, sweetest fiction, for whom I live in pain. Sweetest fiction, for whom I gladly die, sweetest fiction, for whom I gladly live.
