Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Pre-Chorus] White flags shot to ribbons The truce is black and burned Shell shock in the kitchen Tables overturned [Chorus] Back in the village again In the village I'm back in the village again [Verse 2] Throwing dice now, rolling loaded I see sixes all the way (Six, six, six...) In a black hole, and I'm spinning As my wings get shot away [Pre-Chorus] Questions are a burden And answers are a prison for oneself Shell shock in the kitchen Tables start to burn [Chorus] Back in the village again In the village I'm back in the village again [Instrumental Break] [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] No breaks on the inside Paper cats and burning barns There's a fox among the chickens And a killer in the hounds [Pre-Chorus] Questions are a burden And answers a prison for oneself Shell shock in the kitchen Tables start to burn, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah! [Chorus] Back in the village again In the village I'm back in the village again [Bridge] 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! [Chorus] Back in the village again In the village I'm back in the village again, yeah, yeah I'm back in the village again In the village I'm back in the village again [Outro] Back in the village And I'm back in the village And I'm back in the village Again
