lyrics

I know it's today that you'll find me away
I know the word was written but it's fake anyway
the promises were given in a constant downplay

My room is empty now, certainly I don't care
You've shown me the way, I followed you there
I had to crush the four walls and the need to despair.
I had to crush the four walls and the need to despair.

I know the past is past, I know that life is now
But you forget those facts... the ones that cracked you down
I know you'll find a way to answer all your prayers
But since you know now, it's made of nightmares.

Ten thousand lives they march to battle
they rise and fall they win they lose
they muster with your misery and what you have to choose.

And in this fight you're all alone
The fear of choosing life has grown
As time is passing your desires go where the wind has flown
As time is passing your desires go where the wind has blown

Ten thousand lives that you have lived
each one of them within your dreams
Now they become your enemies which you must hate and kill
Now they become your enemies which you must hate and kill
