Empty-Handed

It will all soon be over
It will all soon go away
You won't have to wait much longer
Close your eyes, don't be afraid

Who'd have thought when I first met you
That I'd steal your heart away
But since you're pale and cold
In your chest there's a hole
You won't need it anyway

Because you know I can't leave empty-handed
I came here for a prize
Because you know I can't leave empty-handed
Don't be afraid, just close your eyes

It will all soon be over
It will all soon go away
You won't have to wait much longer
Close your eyes, don't be afraid

Who'd have thought when I first met you
That I'd steal your heart away
But since you're pale and cold
In your chest there's a hole
You won't need it anyway

Because you know I can't leave empty-handed
I came here for a prize
That part is your heart and the knife is so sharp
Don't be afraid, just close your eyes
