It is one of those that make you
Carry the light inside your heart
Listen to it and if you do right

You'll hide it from the world outside
No escaping, I am breaking
Can't stand all the things they do

No awaking, I can't take it
Living this maddening nightmare so


You own the lore, own the word, own the charge
You walk this way but one day it'll be away


If this is for real; my kin - my kind
I wish I was born dumb; deaf and blind
Kickdown on a road to nowhere

If there's paradise I will wait there

And when you think it's on a safe place

There will be one who sees it though
Rips it right out - out of your chest
Takes it to where no-one knows so


You own the lore, own the word, own the charge
You walk this way but one day it'll be away


If this is for real; my kin - my kind
I wish I was born dumb; deaf and blind

Kickdown on a road to nowhere
If there's paradise I will wait there
