lyrics

try to hide in a crowd used to violence and greed
disappear inside misery no one wants to see
hunting for gold and a glory, trying to reach for the sky
wingless creatures will not ever know how to fly

will I recognize myself in this ugly reflection?
burning hateful eyes I've never seen before

nothing can make us stop turning off the lights
but the rules of this game are written by men with no fear of the dark
they hunt, they set a traps, while we are trying to hide
here at the treshold between madness and suicide

we kept the fire alive despite the rain and the wind
now is the time to hide, to pour the water on flames

too cold to live
too warm to die
stagnation of blood
decaying of mind

tired hands reach to the fire
dying embers are still hot
careless eyes stare at skies
waiting for dawn, waiting for the sun

dissolve in this desperation
we tired to run in random directions
like hungry wolves we howl at the moon
but who will feed us deep in the wood?
lie, pretend, follow the call of a blood
run before somebody eats you alive

false prophets will tell the truth
when they will learn to see without eyes
they burn the books and write their own
but still look for protection of gods
nothing has changed
we made of flesh and blood
walk on the ground
and die under the same sky

all roads end with an impass and doors have not a keys
all our aims were too far and now they are out of reach
our traces are covered with dust, our voices are too week to be heard
when wind rips still green leaves from dead trees

rivers run backward again and time flyes faster than the light
no way to go, nothing to live for, no reasons to fight for life
the hardest battle is lost, it cannot be lost twice
but no one can be sure we paid the final price

show me another way
teach me how to live
when you lost in four walls
without windows and doors

catch me before I fall helpless and almost dead
I cannot see the light at the end of the path we went
all what we had was broken in hundreds of little shards
and now with empty hands we believe in uncovered lie
