| Cunning, baffling, powerful
|
| (Been beaten to a pulp)
|
| Vigorous, irresistible
|
| (Sick and tired and laid low)
|
| Dominating, invincible
|
| (Black-out, loss of control)
|
| Overwhelming, unquenchable
|
| (I'm powerless, have to let go)
|
| I can’t escape it
|
| It leaves me frail and worn
|
| Can no longer take it
|
| Senses tattered and torn
|
| Hopeless surrender
|
| Obsession’s got me beat
|
| Losing the will to live
|
| Admitting complete defeat
|
| Fatal descent
|
| Spinning around
|
| I’ve gone too far
|
| To turn back round
|
| Desperate attempt
|
| Stop the progression
|
| At any length
|
| Lift this obsession
|
| Crawling to my glass prison, a place where no one knows
|
| My secret lonely world begins
|
| So much safer here, a place where I can go
|
| To forget about my daily sins
|
| Life here in my glass prison, a place I once called home
|
| Fall in nocturnal bliss again
|
| Chasing a long lost friend I no longer can control
|
| Just waiting for this hopelessness to end
|
| Run — fast from the wreckage of the past
|
| A shattered glass prison wall behind me
|
| Fight — past walking through the ashes
|
| A distant oasis before me
|
| Cry — desperate crawling on my knees
|
| Begging god to please stop the insanity
|
| Help me — I’m trying to believe
|
| Stop wallowing in my self pity
|
| «We've been waiting for you my friend
|
| The writing’s been on the wall
|
| All it takes is a little faith
|
| You know you’re the same as us all»
|
| Help me — I can’t break out this prison all alone
|
| Save me — I’m drowning and I’m hopeless on my own
|
| Heal me — I can’t restore my sanity alone
|
| Enter the door
|
| Desperate
|
| Fighting no more
|
| Help me restore
|
| To my sanity
|
| At this temple of hope
|
| I need to learn
|
| Teach me how
|
| Sorrow to burn
|
| Help me return
|
| To humanity
|
| I’ll be fearless and thorough
|
| To enter this temple of hope
|
| Believe
|
| Transcend the pain
|
| Living the life
|
| Humility
|
| Opened my eyes
|
| This new odyssey
|
| Of rigorous honesty
|
| Serenity
|
| I never knew
|
| Soundness of mind
|
| Helped me to find
|
| Courage to change
|
| All the things that I can
|
| «We'll help you perform this miracle
|
| But you must set your past free
|
| You dug the hole, but you can’t bury your soul
|
| Open your mind and you’ll see»
|
| Way off in the distance I saw a door
|
| I tried to open
|
| I tried forcing with all of my will but still
|
| The door wouldn’t open
|
| Unable to trust in my faith
|
| I turned and walked away
|
| I looked around, felt a chill in the air
|
| Took my will and turned it over
|
| The glass prison which once held me is gone
|
| A long lost fortress
|
| Armed only with liberty
|
| And the key of my willingness
|
| Fell down on my knees and prayed
|
| «Thy will be done»
|
| I turned around, saw a light shining through
|
| The door was wide open |
