I've been so frustrated that nobody seems to have the definitive lyrics for this amazing song. I ended up spending 2 - 3 hours with a graphic equalizer in an attempt to isolate the words from the music. There is some pretty impenetrable sibilance created by the effects on the vocals, but I finally came up with something that I'm 98% happy with. Please respond if you're certain that I have something wrong.
As for the meaning, I prefer not to know the exact meaning as it adds an air of mystery. I think this is probably Ulrich's most beautiful work so far. When I got the album I played this one song over and over for about 3 days!
Here's my version of the lyrics:
Heaven
Help take me back
To the dreamworld
Life has been just once
Answer my prayer
Take away all the fear
And let me fall asleep
Let me fall asleep... fall asleep
You know
You have to let it go
Don't cry
So hard to say goodbye
She will never return
Never again be part of
What was once
Felt so secure
Just adored
But it is getting oh so cold
It is getting cold... getting cold
You know
You have to let it go
Don't cry
So hard to say goodbye

I agree 100% with sugarfish on the lyrics. I'm glad somebody could nail them down.

This song is both incredibly beautiful and incredibly sad. Ulrich is nothing less than GENIUS. On My Own is my second favorite track.
