  • When they met she was fifteen
    Like a black rose blooming wild
    And she already knew she was gonna die

    "What's tomorrow without you?
    This is our last goodbye"

    She got weaker every day
    As the autumn leaves flew by
    Until one day, she told him, "This is when I die"

    "What was summer like for you?"
    She asked him with a smile
    "What's tomorrow without you?"
    He silently replied

    She said,

    "I will always be with you
    I'm the anchor of your sorrow
    There's no end to what I'll do
    Cause I love you, I love you to death"

    But the sorrow went too deep
    The mountain fell too steep
    And the wounds would never heal
    Cause the pain of the loss was more than he could feel

    He said,

    "I will always be with you
    By the anchor of my sorrow
    All I know, or ever knew,
    Is I love you, I love you to death"

    "What's tomorrow without you?
    Is this our last goodbye?"


    "I will always be with you
    I'm the anchor of your sorrow
    There's no end to what I'll do
    Cause I love you" Writer/s: Glenn Raymond Tipton, Kenneth Downing, Robert Halford

  • JaneIt's actually Amanda singing (check the booklet or Wikipedia) - she was Simone's vocal coach in the early Epica days (for The Phantom Agony), so the similarities are not suprising. :)
  • Ivaylo from BulgariaOn the female vocals it's Simone Simons from Epica here and not Amanda Somerville here singing. I'm a fan of both and Simone voice is so specific that it's impossible to miss it....
  • Dave from Greer, ScDoes most of this song sound off-key to anyone else? Anyone know why they did this?
