No one knows the soul of tears

And why can't we see human indignity?

Who will laugh at the growing suffering?

The bleeding

Rapidly breeding

Increasing

The clock is ticking on before us

Constantly running hypnotized

Energized by naivety

Take a pick at random

Choose our future to be crawling in the mess of stupidity

We won't hear when we're dead and gone

We trust in lies or a fake paradise

Are we blinded 'til the bitter end

Decided or maybe very misguided?

Travelling through endless times

Inside of nothingness

Reaching for a new belief

In vain

Insane

Our molded lives an ever catatonic flow

We're rejected ever more by lucidity

Why strange?

Why?

Why change?

Why not suicide?

No strange, no

No change, no

Not suicide

With ears that are shut to the inner voice

We're giving in to the shattering

Tell me, how can we take it?

Tell me, why are we here?

Hanging in the balance of deceit and blasphemy

Paralyzed in sightless drains

Ignorant and still no panic

No! Is there no way to be free?

No! No!

No, why me, not us?

Why not?

Blind, strange

Blind

Blind fate

Blind suicide

Damn faith

Damn

Damn lies

Why?
