Schnee der auf Rosen fällt [English translation]

Once upon a time there was a very wide land, blue seas, forests and lakes;

Whoever saw it, never forgot it; it was a land in that flowers blossom.

Peace, however, is gone, and hope died away; and love soon lay in a quiet grave;

A cold hand reached for this world; and it was like snow falling on roses.

The gift that was once entrusted to us; we have never earned it;

When the hand that takes never learns to give; arrogance will soon be on its knees.

And heaven is crying into the desert sand; and the night falls in the wide land.

A cold hand reached for this world; and it was like snow falling on roses.

But the power that gives; it's the power that loves, which everything depends on;

And when your hand; finally takes mine; the dark times will be over soon.

A distant world; of that they tell; it was like snow - falling on roses,

it was like snow - falling on roses
