[Verse 1]

Yes, so the message goes

Like an insect in its death throes

A magic carpet ride to hell

Then back to here with time to tell

A metal scar on every face

We walk to a forbidden place

Where dirty water cleans the soul

We pour into another hole

[Pre-Chorus]

Here comes a secret delivery

All aboard the reason why

A broken-down discovery

The rules, the rules do not apply

[Chorus]

I'm half-blind, and I'm losing

A picture that is out of control

I'm lying on the ground, but I'm moving

A prison being built round my soul

[Verse 2]

Under a concrete sky

Barricades begin to rise

Sun and stars begin to fall

A sonic boom condemns us all

Decapitated soldiers fight

And ministers control the light

In leaking gas we bathe our flesh

And in the air we fight for breath

[Pre-Chorus]

Here comes a secret delivery

All aboard the reason why

A broken-down discovery

The rules, the rules do not apply

[Chorus]

I'm half-blind, and I'm losing

A picture that is out of control

I'm lying on the ground, but I'm moving

A prison being built round my soul

[Interlude]

Auf dem fliegenden teppich zur hölle und zurück

Mit ausführlichen bericht

Unter bleiernem himmel

Barrikaden verdunkeln das licht

Kopflose soldaten in der schlacht

Insekten in todeszuckungen

Im angesicht verloschender gestirne verlassen

Uns alle hoffnungen

[Pre-Chorus]

Here comes a secret delivery

All aboard the reason why

A broken-down discovery

The rules, the rules do not apply

The rules do not apply

[Chorus]

I'm half-blind, and I'm losing

A picture that is out of control

I'm lying on the ground, but I'm moving

A prison being built round my soul

I'm half-blind, and I'm losing

A picture that is out of control

I'm lying on the ground, but I'm moving

A prison being built round my soul
