Simple Broken Man

Long time ago

While being just a young soul

The world was plunged into darkness

And it was incumbent on us to turn the lights on

Prices paid

Feed the paranoia

High voltage

To the schizophrenia

Behind the barricade

Restless eyes

Suck our souls

The gates of time

Faster than estimated

Everything was at an end

While coming to an end

The lights went out again

Behind the wreck

That remains behind

Ruins just empty buildings?

Or our souls?

I need to focus on

The ones fell behind

Just a dimmed shadow

Awaiting their turns next to me

My wife and my son

Prices paid feed the paranoia

High voltage to the schizophrenia

Behind the barricade

Restless eyes suck our souls

The gates of time

Running

Still under the pressure

Bleeding

My mind is a quite empty cell

My war to live

Struggling against my madness

I must stand

We must stand

I simple broken man

I must gather strength

I no more alone

We heir to the shadows

We voyagers of the same destiny

I simple broken man

While my whole life was flowing

I just stood and watched

I’m only an audience

Of my elegant show

The effect of my past on me

Rules my future

The dead in my mind

Pulls me down to the deep

The nation

Expectations and responsibilities

Can’t shape me now

The nation

I must resist

To the holy deviance imposed

Religion

I must found a free family

Freedom,

Despite everything I must keep it alive in your eyes

Instinct kept me alive

While all the values are going down

I had until today I must survive

And piece together

While getting lonely with each passing day

And the shadows are surrounding my soul

I must resist, be the one and live

I can’t no longer see

I can’t no longer hear

I can’t no longer feel

What have you done to me?
