With pure innocence in heart she walks through the woods
Her long coat embraces her like raven wings
Cold steel in her hands, a red thin trace
Follows her steps through the snow
In this cold world of hypocrisy she is a true word

In the nights, one hidden place
His arms covered her, protected her
Forbidden love
In the nights, the silent nights
Ebony found ivory
A perfect fusion, unperfect end

Old tree-trunks hide the senseless tragedy
Of a young despaired girl and only heaven cries
But life still goes on a few yards away
In the old grey abbey which was home
Now her lips remain closed and the white skin is cold
Oh look, what condemnation brought

In the nights, one hidden place
His arms covered her, protected her
Forbidden love
In the nights, the silent nights
Ebony found ivory
A perfect fusion, unperfect end

Ebony found ivory
Ebony found ivory
A perfect fusion, unperfect end

He could not help her
He was already dead
Banned in a picture, in a picture
A hundred years old

In the nights, one hidden place
His arms covered her, protected her
Forbidden love
In the nights, the silent nights
Ebony found ivory
A perfect fusion, unperfect end
