Lyrics

[Iesu, Rex amirabilis]

I still remember the world from the eyes of a child
Slowly those feelings were clouded by what I know now

Where has my heart gone? An uneven trade for the real world
Oh I, I want to go back to believing in everything and knowing nothing at all

I still remember the sun always warm on my back
Somehow it seems colder now

Where has my heart gone? Trapped in the eyes of a stranger
Oh I, I want to go back to believing in everything

[Iesu, Rex amirabiliset triumphator nobilis dulcedo ineffabilis totus desiderabilis]

As the years pass by before my face [totus desiderabilis]
As wars rage before me, finding myself in these last days of existence

This parasite inside me I forced it out in the darkness of the storm [Iesu, Rex amirabilis]

Lies an evil, but it's me

Where has my heart gone? An uneven trade for the real world
Oh I, I want to go back to believing in everything

Oh, where, where has my heart gone? Trapped in the eyes of a stranger
Oh I, I want to go back to believing in everything

I still remember

[Iesu, Rex amirabilis]
