Lyrics
It’s getting dark too soon
A threatening silence… surrounding me
A wind comes up… from the islands
[Verse 1 | intimate, expressive storytelling… building intensity]
When distance fades to stormy grey
Washed out from the deep ocean
Here I stand to face your wrath
While all the others pray
[Chorus | powerful, dramatic, almost operatic… long notes, strong vibrato]
Calm down, my heart… don’t beat so fast
Don’t be afraid… just once in a lifetime
Calm down, my heart… don’t beat so fast
Don’t be afraid… just once in a lifetime
[Verse 2 | softer but tense… emotional depth, slight rasp]
No rain can wash away my tears
No wind can soothe my PAIN
You made me doubt… you made me fear
But I’m not the same
[Verse 3 | stronger, more intense… rising emotion]
You took my wife… my unborn son
Torn into the deep ocean
I don’t pretend that I love you
There’s nothing left to lose
[Chorus | bigger, more force… layered feel, more emotion]
Calm down, my heart… don’t beat so fast
Don’t be afraid… just once in a lifetime
Calm down, my heart… don’t beat so fast
Don’t be afraid… just once in a lifetime
[Bridge | stripped, fragile, theatrical… like a monologue]
And when the silence comes back to me
I find myself… feeling lonely
Standing here on shores of destiny
I find myself… feeling lonely
[Verse 4 | rebuilding… stronger presence, rising pressure]
I had a life to give… dreams to live
Don’t you know what you lose this time
Beyond the waves… I will be free
While all the others pray
[Break | very quiet, tense pause]
Calm down… my heart
[Verse 5 | controlled, drained but sharp… slight bitterness]
The love in you… it does not burn
There’s no lesson you can learn
There are sounds you cannot hear
There are feelings you can’t feel
[Final Chorus | full climax… maximum intensity, powerful, layered]
Calm down, my heart… don’t beat so fast
Don’t be afraid… just once in a lifetime
Calm down, my heart… don’t beat so fast
Don’t be afraid… just once in a lifetime
[Outro | exhausted, dramatic, fading]
I don’t pretend that I love you
And this time… I’m not scared of you
