It all started a long time ago

Another day, another life

When all images were black and fading

Some will say they didn't know and

And some can state it didn't show

Well I don't really care,

I keep it all inside - AH!

I've had to cross a million years

Beaten many on my way

And never needed healing

I've had to cross a million miles

Survived terror in disguise

And came to understand

I've had to cross a million years

Beaten many on my way

And never needed healing

I've had to cross a million miles

Survived terror in disguise

And came to understand

I saw myself running

And call out in need of misery

I'm in this war, all alone,

As long as I have to

I was trying to see things

I did not want to see

Lost beauty, lost decay

I'm in this war, all alone,

As long as I have to

And so I'll try again - Start the day with a storyline never heard

And so I'll die again - Trying to face that the story is true

The story too

I've had to live a million lives

Had to suppress it all inside

Never found a reason

I've had to win a million fights

Had to relive them every night

Now I understand

I've had to live a million lives

Had to suppress it all inside

Never found a reason

I've had to win a million fights

Had to relive them every night

Now I understand

I saw myself running

And call out in need of misery

I'm in this war, all alone,

As long as I have to

I was trying to see things

I did not want to see

Lost beauty, lost decay

I'm in this war, all alone,

As long as I have to

And so I'll try again - Start the day with a storyline never heard

And so I'll die again - Trying to face that the story is true

The story too

I find myself awake

Crying out to non-existing images

Waiting for my long-lost friend

Puzzled by my own reflection

Deprived of all innocent remarks

A journey into the final quarter

I must collect all the chosen memories

And finish the game again

Wake up my enemy, my friend

For reality fails

It keeps me from falling asleep

Never as one

As much as I wanted to

I want to

Freedom fails as long as I have to

Find another way to cross a frontier

Or run far away

I would find another way to cross a frontier

Or run far away

I should find another way today

Find another way to stay

Never will I ever be confronted

Never again, yeah, will I be confronted

It all started a long time ago

Another day, another life

When all images were black and fading

Some will say they didn't know

And some can state they didn't show

I don't really care,

I keep it all inside - side - side - side - side
