Alive
I have it now and know it will be so
one day when we are not together anymore
I'll take the ship and leave the shore
You walk around blindfold
the next days in a haze
on all your ways you see only my face
the blade of hope you take you take in blackness all around
while your memories will fade away the city sound
while your memories will fade the sound
I don't know why I imagine torment all the time
like a crown of thorns 'round my neck
it pains like all your sharpest darts in my back
from a cold turkey you're worn
Man in a Cage
(Hinkel / Wissler)
What does it take
to stand for my pride
in a building of glass
But I'm still throwing stones inside
Man in a cage
A perfect place of perfect isolation
A heart full of pain
A door that leads to desperation
How could I forget we keep on playing different games
And I exit the stage
feeling like a puppet retired from the hands of fate
Why do I hesitate
Why can't I break free
And why do I still believe
this cage was made for you and me
What does it take
to live a life of perfect isolation
And what will remain
on the road to desperation
How could I pretend this life was only made for me
and nobody else
Steppin' in my cage to free me from my chains
Why do I hesitate
Why can't I break free
And why do I still believe
this cage was made for you and me
It's made for you and me
Man in a cage
I'm livin' in my room
Why won't you see that I'm engaged
