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
