Do you know what it's like<br/> To feel a dream inside you die?<br/> Do you know what it's like<br/> To see that time is rushing by?<br/> <br/> Do you know what it's like<br/> To cling to fading memories?<br/> Do you know what it's like<br/> To count missed opportunities?<br/> <br/> Traces of what might have been<br/> Lay withered all around<br/> The magic of once cherished days<br/> Has died without a sound<br/> <br/> Do you know what it's like<br/> To hunt for visions endlessly?<br/> Do you know what it's like<br/> To see aims turn to fantasy?<br/> <br/> Do you know what it's like<br/> To leave ambitions crucified?<br/> Do you know what it's like<br/> To find all my beliefs denied?<br/> <br/> Face the facts and clear your mind<br/> The truth is hard to take<br/> Stand up to reality<br/> The faith you keep is fake<br/> <br/> Do you know what it's like?

Blackened is the window I'm opening for you<br/> To let you take a look at my soul<br/> I don't remember when i left reality<br/> No escape from my room with four walls<br/> <br/> Falling eyer downwards, never seem to stop<br/> In the bottomless pits of my mind<br/> Somewhere in this maze, y lost my sanity<br/> This life leaves me deaf, dumb and blind<br/> <br/> Who put me in this state of mind<br/> I fought for what they said was right<br/> Now i'm lost and i cannot find<br/> My way out of this hazy night<br/> <br/> A highly honoured hero i came home from that hell<br/> No one saw that blood on my hands<br/> With waving flags and cheers we paraded into town<br/> Killers became true sons of the land<br/> True sons of the land we didn't stay for long<br/> less educated you won't get no work<br/> Alcohol and drugs, unable to forget<br/> A hero of war turned into just a jerk<br/> <br/> Killing and raping at war made us heroes<br/> So what else should doing the same make us here<br/> No one can blame you for doing your job<br/> So i'll go out and work, there's nothing to fear<br/> <br/> Why did they arrest me for doing my job?<br/> Charged for the chair but plead insanity<br/> They now charge me for what they once honoured me for<br/> I'm not sentenced to death but what's lobotomy?

I was called to judge but still I'm confused<br/> Only two eyes but so many points of view<br/> Somehow I was to stop<br/> Somehow, yet at all costs<br/> Asked to put an end to this abuse<br/> <br/> As I gazed at both the frontiers<br/> Being built up during that year<br/> Refusing to join a side<br/> I searched a compromise<br/> Now I'm crushed by what I never feared<br/> <br/> I have suffered<br/> Long enough<br/> Don't you bother<br/> I am asking<br/> Now for justice<br/> Look behind the mask<br/> <br/> Who's to judge another one?<br/> I maintained my tolerance<br/> But the gossip spread without an end<br/> So i chose to stand by my friend<br/> <br/> Now times have changed<br/> And I am left alone on this side<br/> I considered right<br/> Yanus again and again<br/> This love then did end<br/> And the enemy offered his hand<br/> <br/> I discovered<br/> In the end<br/> I was to suffer<br/> Enemy sheltered<br/> Now I see<br/> We all hide behind our mask

Sitting here, once again<br/> Wondering why I'm listening<br/> You're meaning well, but i can't see<br/> What's good for you is good for me<br/> <br/> Times have changed, don't you see<br/> What you preach is history<br/> I don't really need to knw<br/> What happened thirty years ago<br/> <br/> Same old words, all heard before<br/> Scratch the surface but miss the core<br/> <br/> You tell me we help you through<br/> Only want the best for you<br/> Will I ever have the chance<br/> For my own experience<br/> <br/> Your blame spinning in my head<br/> Motionless I'm rather dead<br/> As free to act as in a grave<br/> Don't you treat me like a slave<br/> <br/> Same old words, all heard before<br/> Scratch the surface but miss the core<br/> <br/> Your lack of understanding<br/> leads to my lack of friendly words<br/> For your repeating stories<br/> I long ago refused to learn<br/> <br/> Different views like hot and cold<br/> Different ways of growing old<br/> Some other train that I'm on<br/> My own life though I'm your son

It's quite a long time now<br/> Since i once believed<br/> There are people around who care<br/> Those dreams have died somehow<br/> 'Been cheated and deceived<br/> And still laughter is the answer to despair<br/> <br/> Understanding seems to be a legend<br/> <br/> So listen to my words<br/> My superficial friend<br/> All of this will soon be memory<br/> Ignorance hurts<br/> Unanswered letters sent<br/> My patience for your chat is history<br/> <br/> Understanding seems to be a legend<br/> So why should I still speak?<br/> <br/> When you're living in a dark and dusky valley<br/> And everyone you see is just a shade<br/> Your own voices' echo is the only answer<br/> All the chattering silence makes you suffocate<br/> <br/> Living in a cell<br/> Built by apathy<br/> And we all suffer from the same disease<br/> All alone you dwell<br/> Gone is sympathy<br/> Yet feelings and emotions decrease<br/> <br/> Understanding seems to be a legend<br/> So why should I still speak?<br/> <br/> When you're living in a dark and dusky valley<br/> And everyone you see is just a shade<br/> Your own voices' echo is the only answer<br/> All the chattering silence makes you suffocate<br/> <br/> None of your habits matter anymore<br/> I won't be sad when you - Leave me alone!<br/> <br/> It's my pleasure now<br/> To stop talking to you<br/> I'll pay that burned bridge toll<br/> If you should tell me how<br/> You're trying to reach through<br/> I say this creature has no soul<br/> <br/> So why should I still speak?

Alone I stand on shreline and listen to the sea<br/> Why does its heartbeat give me this longing to be free?<br/> <br/> The sun melts the horizon and makes the water gleam<br/> The seagulls sadly cry out, but don't disturb my dream<br/> <br/> The world behind is silent as if it'd stopped to be<br/> Will all our days be over or will they just for me?<br/> <br/> In visions I see happiness and love and peace of mind<br/> For real are just the pieces, there's nothing else to find<br/> <br/> Behind my hopes lie shattered and buried in cold ground<br/> And everything important is gone without a sound<br/> <br/> The ocean's endless breathing brings calm bu sadness, too<br/> Must I always see the ruins or someday something new?<br/> <br/> Will the light return to this world, shine on us again?<br/> Or will the weight of our fault provide us only pain?<br/> <br/> With all the thoughts and memories spinning round my head<br/> I'm robbed of my tranquility, say, why can't I be dead?<br/> <br/> Now that the world grows darker the distant stars come out<br/> They make my sadness deeper but also clear my doubt<br/> <br/> We say what we were doing and did not recognize<br/> The fragile and importante things invisible for our eyes
