I turn the spotlights on the people, switch the dial and eat the worm

Take your chances, kill the engine, drop your bombs and let it burn

White flags shot to ribbons, the truce is black and burned

Shellshock in the kitchen, tables overturned

Back in the village

Again in the village

I’m back in the village again

Throwing dice now, rolling loaded, I see sixes all the way

In a black hole and I’m spinning as my wings get shot away

Questions are a burden and answers are a prison for oneself

Shellshock in the kitchen, tables start to burn

Back in the village

Again in the village

I’m back in the village again

No breaks on the inside, paper cats and burning barns

There’s a fox among the chickens and a killer in the hounds

Questions are a burden and answers are a prison for oneself

Shellshock in the kitchen, tables start to bu-bu-bu-burn!

Back in the village

Again in the village

I’m back in the village again

But still we walk into the valley

And others try to kill the inner flame

We’re burning brighter than before

I don’t have a number, I’m a name

Back in the village

Again in the village

I’m back in the village again, yeah

Back in the village

Again in the village

I’m back in the village again

Back in the village I’m back in the village I’m back in the village again
