In a circle of fire On a cold winter night I spoke out my desire Made a promise I couldn't hide, no! In a dream He came along and told me "Your time has come, Your mind belongs to me." It's the time of the oath The time of the oath My sweetest memories die in the cold It's the time of the oath See me covered with sadness And I'll soon wish to die When that overcoming madness Is eating up my mind Here and now I look back at a good time No more lie - I slowly say goodbye It's the time of the oath The time of the oath My sweetest memories die in the cold It's the time of the oath In a dream He came along and told me "Your time has come, Just slowly say good-bye." It's the time of the oath The time of the oath My sweetest memories die in the cold It's the time of the oath Di-es i-rae, di-es il-la Sol-vet sae-cium in fa-villa Quan-tus tre-mor est fu-tu-rus Quan-do ju-dex est ven-turus
