Castillos

Once upon a time, a land of honey
With rooftops in crimson hue
Where I was the queen and he was the king,
In a kingdom of love tales;
My magical castle in the air
Shone transparent under the sun

Then came that cruel storm
And the castle in the air fell,
In the light of a lightning, at my feet opened
The abyss of his heart
Then I could see him as he truly was,
And what I discovered shattered me

My king was a stone
With a stone heart,
He paid for my love
With stones,
Shattered my illusion
With stones

I was once that naive faithful
Who believed this tale was real
And I paid dearly for my stupidity
That I dare not dream,
I don't want more castles in the air
Nor kings who hurt without mercy

My king was a stone
With a stone heart,
His love was always
A lie;
Castles that today
Are ruins

My king was a stone
With a stone heart,
He paid for my love
With stones,
Shattered my illusion
With stones.
