Passing by, consuming time

Meanwhile always the same smile

Estranged

I wait till I am alone, yet so afraid to be on my own

Dog me unto death or stab me where I stand

I'd tear out my tongue, bleed before I weep

Inferno below zero, ordeal by fire

I seek a door in each and every wall

Volcano below zero, ordeal by ice

Blistering by degrees, but there's no easy exit

Fool!

Recollection blurs on purpose, it comes to grief

An exhibition of belief, where confidence goes when it dies

Trouble created by instinct comes around and strays

Determined to reduce my days

Inferno below zero, ordeal by fire

I seek a door in each and every wall

Volcano below zero, ordeal by ice

No easy release, no release at all

Never more delightful than when missed

But if and when received

Satisfaction's followed by revolt

As if it never was achieved

Inferno below zero, ordeal by fire

Volcano below zero, ordeal by ice
