The last glance at your door is killing me slow Like a final sign of time And these handcuffs can't tie me to this world No answers can be given anymore And so the winter came when we waited for the sun It's the icy breath of a flower In isolation I cry, but no tears leaves my eye And the walls will crush me again A child screams - innocent and silent in this night Far away... Glass is breaking with a noise Louder than I ever heard before Let me out And so the winter came when we waited for the sun It's the icy breath of a flower In isolation I cry, but no tears leaves my eye And the walls will crush me again All that we wanted was eternity Didn't care for the price we would pay But now you're alone, I don't know where And I ask you how long must I stay Let me out! Let me out! Let me out! Let me out! Out! Let me out! Let me out! Let me out! Out! And so the winter came when we waited for the sun It's the icy breath of a flower In isolation I cry, but no tears leaves my eye And the walls will crush me again

The leaves are drifting with the sunlight Far away from here, like a ship into the void The birds lapse into their last song The final sounds die And only dust remains on earth No river will flow, no fire will burn - anymore The wind has lost its power Another piece of the universe is gone Grey stones bury your will to live Dusk But now I stand here with my arms outstretched Breathing clearest air I've found everything I've lost before And when I fall I fly in endless circles Noone catches me, noone stops me anymore Now the grey days are gone And it's time to rest, to find myself I was always searching for this It's a kind of death, but you're not dead Dusk But now I stand here with my arms outstretched Breathing clearest air I've found everything I've lost before And when I fall I fly in endless circles Noone catches me, noone stops me anymore Dusk But now I stand here with my arms outstretched Breathing clearest air I've found everything I've lost before And when I fall I fly in endless circles Noone catches me, noone stops me anymore

I've seen the rain in vales of a deeper joy Don't mourn for me or my demise I'll away until we've found our deliverance The tears of your pain will melt the ice I'll never see when you smile, when you're laughing I'll never see when you cry all day I fall asleep, but you still got my spirit I'll always sleep until we meet again I turn around and see your face for the last time You think "good bye" but your lips are kept closed I go away, 'cos my fate was programmed before Eternity took place in me I'll never see when you smile, when you're laughing I'll never see when you cry all day I fall asleep, but you still got my spirit I'll always sleep until we meet again

I don't believe in the phrases of a dying age These never ending thoughts will drag me to death I always see the empire of the falling rain And I answer with a smile Should I pray? Should I die? I'll die! I'm following the way to beyond Following the pain to the endless haze And the fire and poison around goes through me My hands touched the borders of my life The tearful try to breathe, the endless fight to be And nothing will drown me again and rape me Give me a place to begin to recover Give me the time to begin my work I don't want no more of the air that I'm breathing And I understand your everlasting words Those many ways converge in this point The answers of all thoughts are raining down on me Cold tears pouring down my face, they kill me I'm following the way to beyond Following the pain to the endless haze And the fire and poison around goes through me Give me a place to begin to recover Give me the time to begin my work I don't want no more of the air that I'm breathing And I understand your everlasting words And my questions and my feelings and my senses Are unimportant now And your voice that still remains in my ears I don't care, I don't want it anymore! Give me a place to begin to recover Give me the time to begin my work I don't want no more of the air that I'm breathing And I understand your everlasting words I don't want no more of the air that I'm breathing And I understand your everlasting words So nothing will drown me again and rape me!

The lake lies silent there tonight Not far from here And the colours turn to black Like a tear of tar In your rigid eyes I'm walking down the path to the rocks Where we stared into the stars I touch the water and I see your face And your rigid eyes One more time I see you die There's no salvation Something breaks you deep inside It's the end of your dissolution One more time I see you die There's no salvation Something breaks you deep inside It's the end of your dissolution Suddenly a bright white veil is rising Far above my head Like an epitome of beauty I see a face With your rigid eyes Your glow is leading me to a place So far beyond this world I drift away, now I can see Through your rigid eyes! One more time I see you die There's no salvation Something breaks you deep inside It's the end of your dissolution One more time I see you die There's no salvation Something breaks you deep inside It's the end of your dissolution One more time I see you die There's no salvation Something breaks you deep inside It's the end of your dissolution One more time I see you die There's no salvation Something breaks you deep inside It's the end of your dissolution One more time I see you die There's no salvation Something breaks you deep inside It's the end of your dissolution One more time I see you die There's no salvation Something breaks you deep inside It's the end of your dissolution

I'm walking through our forest again And I'm waiting for the sun The crass is damp, the birds are dumb They don't sing their melody But I still know how it sounds Now I'm sitting down at this stone Where we were waiting for the day The sun is cold and heaven's grey It seems like yesterday When I was at your grave Where will I see you again Hoping for coincidence When will I kiss you again Feeling no more alone Where will I see you again Hoping for coincidence When will I kiss you again Feeling no more alone No more alone I watch the sun it passes by I don't feel the heat anymore 'Cos now you're gone But I am buried deep beneath your feet And I can't see tomorrow Where will I see you again Hoping for coincidence When will I kiss you again Feeling no more alone Where will I see you again Hoping for coincidence When will I kiss you again Feeling no more alone No more alone Hoping for coincidence Feeling no more alone Where will I see you again Hoping for coincidence When will I kiss you again Feeling no more alone Where will I see you again Hoping for coincidence When will I kiss you again Feeling no more alone (Where will I see you again) (Where will I see you again) (Where will I see you again)

When all the clouds surround my head Like bandages of ice As if they could heal my wounds But they're incurable When all the branches stroke my hair Like your fingers do As if they could make me forget But I can't walk back I hear another racking call It burns me out When all the fog rises up Like a white veil of silk As if it could close my eyes But I've seen too much And again I hear this racking call It burns me out I see you walking barefoot I feel your dying shades I know your world will crumble down I hear your evil laughing I watch your killing change And I hear another racking call So I am stumbling through the night Confused and destroyed Can noone hear my cries for help? But maybe I am dumb I feel my body escaping Somehow my body is failing I scream - another racking call I see you walking barefoot I feel your dying shades I know your world will crumble down I hear your evil laughing I watch your killing change And I hear another racking call I see you walking barefoot I feel your dying shades I know your world will crumble down I hear your evil laughing I watch your killing change And I hear another racking call And I hear another racking call

I can't drive my thoughts away The depths of heaven haunt me And I see no excuse for my mistakes I'll never see the sun again The clouds will darken everything inside No way to get me out of this or to return The wind will blow my face away No love will last, just endless calm Tomorrow is the strangest word for me Soon I'll be forgotten I'm drifting weightlessly in time, all alone I was suffocated by your kiss, I'm buried again

Now Not tomorrow Yesterday Not tomorrow It happens today The damage today They fall on today They beat on the outside And I'll stand by you now Not tomorrow It's happening now Not tomorrow It's happening now The crazed in the hot-zone The mental and diva's hands The fisting of life To the music outside To the music outside It happens outside The music is outside It's happening outside The music is outside It's happening now Not tomorrow Yesterday Not tomorrow The music is outside It's happening outside The music is outside The music is outside Outside Outside Outside The music is outside It's happening outside The music is outside Outside Outside Outside

Something is cold and blank behind her smile She's standing on an overpass In her miracle mile "You were from a perfect world A world that threw me away today Today to run away" A pill to make you numb A pill to make you dumb A pill to make you anybody else But all the drugs in this world Won't save her from herself Her mouth was an empty cut And she was waiting to fall Just bleeding like a polaroid that Lost all her dolls "You were from a perfect world A world that threw me away today Today to run away" A pill to make you numb A pill to make you dumb
