Taken Before Given

A newborn in a basket cries Her mother and her father - dosed Welcome to the world little one Nothing that they have Done is your fault Life - mystery in itself A gift - so hard to keep Death - nothing more than the end An aim - too easy to achieve Taken before given Traded before broken The thread of life so fine Made with love or without it A sin - and everything within A crimе - older than time Lust - the еvil we trust Hate - our graceful fate Taken away from you Everything and nothing Broken - the thread of life Before given Maybe even better not to be born Everything you'll learn here is How to crawl and mourn In this crooked creation filled with Nothing is given And even that is taken

There is nothing around No silence no sound The earth is calling me in my sleep The bogey is hiding inside me My eyes are blinking I'm drifting away Away from the blackness towards the light I'm falling out From the edge of the earth I'm drifting in a dream That does not belong to me There is no movement Pure empty space I still hear your calling With a grin on your face You let me down then You will let me down now So nothing has changed In this constant dream I'm falling out From thе edge of the еarth I'm drifting in a dream That does not belong to me I'm drifting in a dream In a dream already seen Oh please save me Drifting in a dream Drifting in a dream Dream already seen Drifting in a dream

Upside down once again Open sliced violated throughout Wasted away The bringer of life now slaughtered The unborn and the existent Now murdered It makes me feel so restless It makes me think about My right to live Humanity that takes everything And gives nothing should be Haunted by guilt Why can't we live as we should live Not by taking it all and be Haunted by guilt Nothing changes Nothing happens Greed is a sin and is well-rewarded Humanity is a virtue and so condеmned She cries out in pain can't wе hear We can not shift to a higher gear We could be pleased for less There is a way out of this mess
