Candlelight ignites the overture
Tearing through the mist the curtains fall
Saintly statues shed their tears
The church is drenched in crimson red
Old dreams rise from ashes once again
Moonlight pierces through the veil
The earth splits open as the chapel hall
Her face becomes so clear to all
Why oh why
(The bride is not her)
(Never was her)
We're all just puppets on a string
Watching fate's endless thread take wing
Why oh why
(The bride is not her)
(Never was her)
We're prisoners of destiny's hold
In this mist we lose all control
The wedding carries on its course
Crosses burn with fiery force
Saintly statues shed their tears
The church is drenched in crimson red
Old dreams rise from ashes once again
Moonlight pierces through the veil
The earth splits open as the chapel hall
Her face becomes so clear to all
Why oh why
(The bride is not her)
(Never was her)
We're all just puppets on a string
Watching fate's endless thread take wing
Why oh why
(The bride is not her)
(Never was her)
We're prisoners of destiny's hold
In this mist we lose all control
Who brought me to this sacred place
Where holy overtures embrace
Her scent so sweet a dizzying haze
Makes me wish not to wake from these days
Why oh why
(The bride is not her)
(Never was her)
We're all just puppets on a string
Watching fate's endless thread take wing
Why oh why
(The bride is not her)
(Never was her)
We're prisoners of destiny's hold
In this mist we lose all control
All this fades into a blur
Oh this wedding in a dream
Oh this bride from a dream
Together we vanish in the mist
The blood-red church bells chime
Echoing eternal in the dark
