Requiem (The Fifth) (narration) Songtext
von Trans‐Siberian Orchestra

The happiest moments of his life
Were there inside that night
But within a year, my friends, I fear
He would drive her from his life

Not because his love had faded
Or another love had been met
But because he could not believe
That someone could love a musician that was becoming deaf


He gave her no explanations
For this secret, it was his shame
He could not bear to ever hear the word "deaf"
Connected to his name

He did not answer her letters
Or the inquiries she left
He stayed inside alone with his pride
Though his heart would not forget

He knew that she was still out there
This he could still clearly recall
But the silence was there also
And now the silence, it was all
