[Verse 1]

It was the spring when we met our renewal

And all around us was madness and ruin

As if awaiting its prey

The ascending melee pulled the sun down

[Chorus]

In August, we laid her down

In August, we gave her to the ground

One last kiss, her last wish

Was that this moment would last forever

In August, we laid her down

In August, we gave her to the ground

[Post-Chorus]

Torn away, torn in two

Destiny, where are you?

[Verse 2]

It was the spring when we met our renewal

And all around us was madness and ruin

It was the spring when we met our denial

It was the spring

In August, we laid her down

[Chorus]

In August, we laid her down

In August, we gave her to the ground

One last kiss, her last wish

Was that this moment would last forever

In August, we laid her down

In August, we gave her to the ground

[Outro]

In August, we laid her down

In August, we gave her to the ground

In August, we laid her down

In August, we gave her to the ground
