New Man

This is the hour of shadows

This is the stranger seen

Angels dwell, possessing me

In all of man’s insanity

Senses profound – voices and sounds

Faces where we hide ourselves

And places where we’re found

Where are we now? Lost in the crowd

Everything is far away in traces underground

Fragments in dust – scattered, it seems

Faithfully I’m caught between

The nightmare and the dream

Where can I hide the tears?

Where can I quiet the fears?

Where is the path? Where is the healing?

Where do I go from here?

Climbing the walls – scaling the time

Crawling in line, begging and bleeding

For something divine

In and around the corners of time

In between sight, in between sound

In between mind

Finding a place – turning the page

Faces peel away the man

Returning to the stage

Look at my heart, it bleeds

Look in my eyes and see

The reckless hero, wandering

And self-perception driving me

When all the world was broken

And all the love had slipped away

When madness claimed the faithful son

The new man took his place

Then all my dreams were shattered

Then all my hope was lost in vain

Then all my ashes gathered

And the new man, he remained

And all the truth is spoken now

To silence me inside, and drown the

Wakeful anguish of the side effects in time

The side effects in time
