I am the living - In the land of the
dead
I roam the dark streets - While you’re asleep in bed
I feel the blood rush - From the sound in my ears
The music’s over - And morning is drawing near
From windows watching the cold eyes of fate
Escape the squadrons of desire and hate
Something is rising from the gutters of greed
A public offering when you see my heart bleed
Refrain:
Hide away from the electric eye - fear the crystalline eyes
Hide away from the open skies - fear the crystalline eyes
Run away without goodbyes - from their crystalline eyes
From their crystalline eyes
I walk the valley - in the heat of the night
The fields are burning - I’m drawn to the light
I am a warrior - but there is not a war
I have no reason - and nothing to fight for
Pure as a bell chime on the last day of life
No sign of warning cold as a knife
I take the long way in this short life of pain
Take my good fortune never going insane
Refrain
We must observe
We're everywhere
We take control
Until the end
Refrain
