I've been walking in the

Shoes of a silent stranger

I've been dancing in the city

Of a broken motion

I've been running through

The first and last explosion

I've been dancing on the sins

Of the diamond reason

I've been flying up and down

The stairs of illusion

I've been running faster

Then I need to go

I've been running faster

Then I need to go

Shame shame of life, shame shame of life, shame shame of life

I've been running at the mountain forgiveness

Forever change my life

And the more I feel it in my heart

I can always take the time to know it's right

Time to know it's right

Time to know it's right

I've been flying faster

Than the eagle soars into the sky

Walking through the doors

Of shame, letting everything go by

Spinning in the deepest ocean

Diving in the last emotion

Climbing up the diamond mountain

Looking for the mountain light

Looking for the mountain light

Looking for the mountain light

Looking for the mountain light

Looking for the mountain light

I've been swimming in the sea of illusion

Dancing for the rites of love

Crashing through the walls of fear

Looking heard but I did not see

After all the songs of revolution

The battles with heaven's light

But if they did not really look

They did not really answer to the call

Living in the fire of the living wisdom

Sharpening the sword of the samurai

Living in the fire of the living wisdom

Sharpening the sword of the samurai

Living in the fire of the living wisdom
