Painful desire, joyful desease
Taking me higher, giving me peace
Infernal madness wanting to die
Eternal sadness making me cry
Colder than ice and older than stone
This is my life, this is my home
Bright inspiration once was my show
Dark resignation now I will go
Painful desire, joyful desease

Infernal madness, wanting to die

Bright inspiration once was my show

Dark resignation, now I will go

I came here to release, to leave my mind
I came here to find peace, leave my body behind
I came here to release, to leave my mind
I came here to find peace, leave my body behind
Painful desire, joyful desease
Taking me higher, giving me peace
Infernal madness wanting to die
Eternal sadness making me cry
Colder than ice and older than stone
This is my life, this is my home
Bright inspiration once was my show
Dark resignation now I will go
I came here to release, to leave my mind
I came here to find peace, leave my body behind
I came here to release, to leave my mind
I came here to find peace, leave my body behind
(Im Hindergrund der Rerain mit tiefer Stimme:)
I.... came here... to release... to leave my...
I came here to... find... peace... leave my body...
I.... came here... to release... to leave my...
I-came-here-to... find.... peace... leave my body...
Eeh... eeh... eeh... eehs..
Eeh... eeh... eeh.. ti..
