Man-Erg

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The killer lives inside me: yes, I can feel him move Sometimes he's lightly sleeping In the quiet of his room But then his eyes will rise and stare through mine; He'll speak my words and slice my mind inside Yes, the killer lives [Verse 2] Angels live inside me: I can feel them smile... Their presence strokes And soothes the tempest in my mind And their love can heal the wounds that I have wrought They watch me as I go to fall - Well, I know I shall be caught While the angels live [Instrumental Break] [Interlude] How can I be free? How can I get help? Am I really me? Am I someone else? [Instrumental Break] [Bridge] But stalking in my cloisters hang the acolytes of gloom And Death's Head throws his cloak into the corner of my room And I am doomed... But laughing in my courtyard play the pranksters of my youth And solemn, waiting Old Man in the gables of the roof: He tells me truth... [Verse 3] And I too, live inside me And very often don't know who I am I know I'm not a hero But I hope that I'm not damned: I'm just a man, and killers, angels All are me: Dictators, saviours, refugees in war and peace As long as Man lives... [Outro] I'm just a man, and killers, angels All are me: Dictators, saviours, refugees...
