There was an empty house,
A huge classical house
That stand above the hard rocks,
Left by no one,
But no one also knows whoever entered it yet.

It just an empty house
With a startling long story.
Deep and complicated,
But no one has to know...

There was an old man lived there
With nothing to be owned.
But there still life, there still.
Sadly, he didn't want to excuse anymore.
Pain slide his soul away.
He was looking for forgiveness, but he couldn't find it.

He was looking for the dawn,
But he found himself drown by the dark.
He was looking for the dusk
With unopened eyes
High and dry...

So he becomes disappeared,
You thought he was there, but he wasn't.
Like a mirage, you see along the road,
He's impossible to be real.

Now you're looking for him
So you went to that empty house,
Knocking at the door
Perhaps you could find that old broken heart man,
But he is long gone.

You would never ever found himself anymore, Dear.
You were looking for an apology,
But who's gonna give it to you?
Your tears couldn't clear the dust,
It couldn't mend the broken heart,
It couldn't heal the old man back.
It couldn't deny the fact that ... you were the reason why he disappeared.
