And all there's left is God's forgiveness, That is just what the preacher said
The sky was turning grey with anger, I walked alone along the way
God only knew what's on my shoulders, And *you are lost* I heard him say

But on my way to find an answer, Out from nowhere a demon came
He was a hunchback, I was frightened, I said: Go back to Notre Dame
I have some things to say, he answered, I know your troubles yes my son
You carry heavy loads upon you, I tell you: The fun has just begun

And so he left me disappointed, A deadly light came out from west
I heard a sound of distant thunder, I kept thinking: Who knows best
I know my life, I know my living, My will is given me at birth
And I can do just what I want to, Then I was swallowed by the earth

I landed with my feet on fire, I stood before my masters throne
He filled my mind with soft desire, He taught me: Everyone's alone
And that is where I end my story, And all there's left for me to say
Is: See your death is softly coming, And watch the winters fade away
