lyrics

VII

Am I? Or was I ever? Alive
Has the twilight? Always blinded my eyes?
Is change really in the air?
Or is there nothing there?

Soon, it will all melt away.
In the moon-shine-light of the day
And if change is ever gonna come,
Let it leave me numb.

Let, let it be known
If my heart stops? And I’m cold to the bone ~
No answer will ever be found
As they carry me down

What? What is my name?
Tell me! Why, I’ve forgotten my name!
Paralyzed as I watched it fading away!
Oh my god! No! It’s taken my name!
