She's used to stare at an empty spot
'Cause that's the only place
Where everything's how it should be
There's no evil to be seen

In the evening, in the light of the streetlamps
The soldiers take off their helmets
And start to dance
And everything's fine
There's no evil to be seen

And everything's quiet
And everything's silent
And everything's perfect
Everything's fine

Never did I close my eyes, she says
Never did I lose my sunsets
But the melody of purple light
Is the only thing I was to find

In the daytime the emptiness tries
To turn into sorrow
When there's screaming and shooting
And never-ending shouting around her
But nothing she'd like to see

She misses her mother
And longs for her brothers
And then loneliness looks into her eyes
And smiles: "Don't cry", she says
See, there's no evil to be seen

Then soon everything's perfect
And everything's silent
Everything's quiet
Everything's fine

Never did I close my eyes, she says
Never did I lose my sunsets
But the melody of purple light
Is the only thing I was to find

After all screaming has ended
And the real purple sun starts to rise
She still sits and keeps on staring at the spot
Like she was blind
Now it's all just in her mind

And everything's perfect
Everything's silent
Everything's quiet
Everything's fine

Never did I close my eyes, she says
Never did I lose my sunsets
But the melody of purple light
Is the only thing I was to find

Will I ever open my eyes, she cries
Will I ever lose my sunsets
'Cause the melody of purple light
Is the only thing I was to find
