Ah-ah-ah-aaah…
Verse
They make the sun rise once again, and put the wolves back in their cages
I’ve been asleep so many days, and I’ve been wide awake forever
Seems like nothing can get through, this grey lid that they call heaven
Missing sunshine, missing you, feeling worn out, bound and beaten
All this snow makes me believe, this early morning in December
It’s always been that way for me, for just as long as I remember
But soon the city will awake, send out an army of pretenders
A fleet of dirty black machines, a race that will go on forever
Ah-ah-ah-aaah…
Chorus
There is a black cloud coming down, you know that this place smells of pity
Too many vultures in this town, there is a spell over this city
Too much violence on the streets, only bad news in the paper
Smiling snakes, and wealthy thieves, too many soldiers, too much hatred
Ah-ah-ah-aaah…
Verse
And now the wolves are out again, there’s a shark close to these beaches
Dark and heavy falls the rain, and all the souls I meet are speechless
So many things I’ll never see, and all the truths they never told me
And what is left for me to believe, when the world I knew is burning
There is a bird trapped in my chest, and my restless bones are aching
I am a one track speeding train, I am a mine ready to cave in
I am the centre of the earth, I am too fast and I’m too lazy
I cannot breathe for all this dirt, but in the end you always save me
Ah-ah-ah-aaah…
