TOTAL ECLIPSE

Music by Jim Steinman, original German lyrics by Michael Kunze.

Ancestors:

Be prepared!

 

Sarah:

Sometimes in the night

I feel lonely and sad

But I don't know what's wrong with me.

 

Ancestors:

Be prepared!

 

Sarah:

Sometimes in the night

I have fantastic dreams

But when I wake up,

Fear torments me.

 

Ancestors:

Be prepared!

 

Sarah:

Sometimes in the night

I lie in the dark and wait,

But what I'm waiting for isn't clear to me.

 

Von Krolock:

Be prepared!

 

Sarah:

Sometimes in the night

I feel the irresistible temptation

Of a dark danger.

 

Ancestors:

Be prepared, Star Child…

 

Sarah:

I hear a voice calling me.

 

Ancestors:

Be prepared, Star Child…

 

Sarah:

I can hear a voice…

 

Ancestors:

Be prepared!

 

Sarah:

Sometimes in the night

I feel the power of magic

Which is invisible to me.

 

Ancestors:

Be prepared!

 

Sarah:

Sometimes in the night

I am so helpless and I wish

Someone would come to lead and protect me.

 

Ancestors:

Be prepared!

 

Sarah:

Sometimes in the night

I can't wait any longer,

I want to finally be a woman and free.

 

Ancestors:

Be prepared!

 

Sarah:

Sometimes in the night

I want to experience what is forbidden,

And the consequences do not matter to me.

 

Ancestors and von Krolock:

Be prepared, Star Child…

 

Sarah:

I hear a voice calling me.

 

Ancestors and von Krolock:

Be prepared, Star Child…

 

Sarah:

I feel a longing searching for me…

 

Von Krolock:

To lose yourself is to free yourself

You will recognise yourself in me

What you dream of will become reality

Nothing and nobody can separate us.

Dive with me in the darkness!

Between the abyss and the light

We'll burn doubts and forget time

I'll wrap you in my shadow

And carry you far.

You are the miracle

That is reconciled with reality.

 

Sarah:

My heart is dynamite

And it's giving off sparks.

 

Von Krolock and Sarah:

I have awoken to life!

Forever's gonna start tonight.

Forever's gonna start tonight.

 

Sarah:

I set out

To lose my heart

Now I'm almost losing my mind.

Total eclipse

A sea of emotion and no land.

 

Once I believed

In the bright spell of love,

Now it's shattering my world.

Total eclipse,

I'm falling and nothing can hold me.

 

Ancestors and von Krolock:

Be prepared!

 

Sarah:

Sometimes in the night

I think I should flee from you

While I still can

 

Von Krolock and Ancestors:

Be prepared

 

Sarah:

But when you call to me

I am ready to follow you blindly,

I would go to Hell itself with you.

 

Von Krolock and Ancestors:

Be prepared

 

Sarah:

Sometimes in the night

I would give my life

For a moment

When I belonged completely to you.

 

Von Krolock and Ancestors:

Be prepared

 

Sarah:

Sometimes in the night

I want to be how you want me to be

Even if it means destroying myself.

 

Von Krolock and Ancestors:

Be prepared, Star Child…

 

Sarah:

I hear a voice calling me

 

Von Krolock and Ancestors:

Be prepared, Star Child…

 

Sarah:

I feel a longing searching for me.

 

Von Krolock and Sarah:

To lose yourself is to free yourself

You will recognise yourself in me

What you dream of will become reality

Nothing and nobody can separate us.

Dive with me in the darkness!

Between the abyss and the light

We'll burn doubts and forget time

I'll wrap you in my shadow

And carry you far.

(You'll wrap me in your shadow

And carry me far)

 

Von Krolock:

You are the miracle

That is reconciled with reality

 

Sarah:

My heart is dynamite

And it's giving off sparks

 

Von Krolock and Sarah:

I have awoken to life!

Forver's gonna start tonight

Forever's gonna start tonight.

 

Sarah:

I set out

To lose my heart

Now I'm almost losing my mind.

 

Von Krolock and Sarah:

Total eclipse

A sea of emotion and no land.

 

Sarah:

Once I believed

In the bright spell of love

 

Von Krolock:

Now it's shattering you world.

 

Von Krolock and Sarah:

Total eclipse,

We're falling and nothing can hold us.

Total eclipse,

A sea of emotion and no land.

 

Sarah:

Total eclipse,

I think I'm losing my mind…
