[Van der Laars/Parry]. . Responsibility and blame, tall orders made. Affecting the lives of your friends, for whom you care. Serious doubts within. A nightmarish tale look what you've done.
Just on the border of your waking mind. There lies another time. Where darkness and light are one. . And as you tread the halls of sanity. You feel so glad to be, unable to go beyond.
I feel like a man without a face. like a foregner at this place. when you are standing by my side. I am completely in control. with a tighter grip around my soul.
I hear your voice close on the phone. But I know you're far away. I've waited so long to talk to you. And now I can't find the words to say. . So I sit and I listen to you.
My memories clear as ever of a little boy. I can see myself so full of wander a child so full of joy. . In a field oh way up yonder not so far from home.
You took the step and slipped away. Enchanted by a friendly face. You thought it was love. . It took your life out of your hands. You never dreamt that it would ever and never end.
I want you to confess. the way you feel when you see them fall. wallowing in pain. like flowers in the heavy rain. I hear hypnotising words. propaganda spreading nationwide.
Me, I'm just a poor boy. From across the far south lands. And I've traveled many days. To reach this place to make my stand. Oh, and I fell in with a merry band.
Though my face is straight. it still relates the fact, that I. am lost in this peculiar dream. your expressions make my scene. You entertain me. every night and day, my life.
[Chorus]. I gave you freedom, don't hand me your pain. A lover's heart burning, now has vanished in the flames. Our kind of love was to strange to comprehend.
She comes like a stranger with forgotten shame. dressed up in memories again. and there is nothing i can do. When I see her coming I close my eyes. when I feel her presence I hear her lies.
Don't you worry he won't be back here anymore. . Try a little harder go as far as you can go. a state of tolerance something which you'll never know. .
Away, the jokers closing in. Reform and they will win. The light is fading fast. I know, you know, they know, we all know. Everybody's gonna burn down.
I have no reason why. why I should listen to. all those accusations thrown at me. There's really no excuse. for what you've done to me. duplicity in your eyes reveals the truth.
[Rondat/Parry]. . Hiding in fear. Such abnormality. Close your eyes now, say a prayer. . Memories, a punishment so real. They played their cold and isolated games.
Yes she's leaving on the train. Never coming back again. The lines go far ahead. Got a job fixed in the city. Wants to be a star she's pretty. And I don't get a part.
Through endless streets of hope. I tried to pave my way. to find somebody who could operate. my fading world in grey. Through concrete dreams I ran. discarding all I knew.
There've been times when I have doubt reality. whatever happened to our purity?. pictures of this world inside my head. all those broken tears that have been shed.
