I arrived in the city of lights
Enchanted ballrooms where I lost my life
I've closed my eyes
On your fairground smile
Seedy heroes and silver tills
Sinking suns on a sea of thrills
I place my bets
Trading with strangers in silhouette
I drink your health, son of the earth
Passing ships in the modern death
We're all still fired
Old emotions still burn inside
On solid ground, round the mother tongue
A tower of hope, a joyful sound
You take your time
A hand of aces in a pack of lies
I found my song and I started to sing
Took me away on an olden wing
So far from home
Standing so lonely but not alone
In this empire of ache and rhyme
Lovers and best friends are running blind
I grasp your hand
Is this the only world I understand
There's a sadness
There's a joy
There's a place
There's a song that will never die
ForeverYou say you're always right and I'm wrong
You tell me I am weak and you are strong
Always tried so hard
Now you've gone too far
I'll give all or nothing now to play my cards.
You pretend it's for fun
In the end when it's done
You might say it's a game
But I will show no mercy.
You talk so much but you don't have a clue
You lie so much you even think it's true
Now I'm in the lead
Want to see you bleed
Say goodbye I am forever in control.
You must learn oh so well
You shall burn in my hell
You might say it's a game
I will show no mercy.
And now it's said and done it's all completed
You think you've won you know you are defeated
Now it's all so clear
I'm your greatest fear
You have lived a lie be prepared to die.
You must learn oh so well
You shall burn in my hell
You might say it's a game
I will show no mercy.
