Songtexte - Shadows of the past

Somewhere in the dark, there's a shadow hanging over m.
It takes control wherever I go, it makes me do things that I don't want to see
Somewhere in the night, I need to find the light that's burning brightly for me
Somewhere in the rain, I'd like to find my true life again

The shadows of the past are threatening my sanity
The ghosts that always last, push me into calamity
And out there in the wind, there's something calling lightly for me
It makes me wanna go, it makes me wanna see

Somewhere in the night, I need to find the light that's burning brightly for me
Somewhere in the rain, I'd like to find my true life again.

There's a face in the dark, a mask in the crow.
It makes me wanna cry, it makes me wanna shout out loud
I'll never gonna go out into the night
I'll never walk into the light again

The phantom's in my dreams, are getting far too real
The voices in my screams, are far too much to deal with
Can someone take away my fears?
Is there anyone there, who can hear my cries?

But when the sun rises in the morning
I get the strength to start it all again
I feel the comfort of an early dawn
I feel the power of a new beginning

But when the sun rises in the morning
I get the strength to start it all again
I feel the comfort of an early dawn
I feel the power of a new beginning

Shadows of the past
Shadows of the past
Shadows of the past
Shadows of the past

Noone is able to do what he likes
Nobody cares if her closest friend dies
People pass by and you don't know why
Someone sings a song but everybody walks on

Insanity grows like an enormous cancer
Look at the world but you won't find an answer
You're driving along and all the lights are on
And there's a darkness inside where you can't hide

I'm sick of ignorance and hate
But I fear for a change it is too late.

You couldn't care less for all of this mess
You don't give a damn for all of this spam
Isolated like a snowball in hell
We all run around and have nothing to tell

There's a darkness inside
And there is no place to hide
All I can feel is this pain
Coming over me again and again

And the numbness in my soul is eating me whole
And I don't understand why we can't make amends
The moon in the sky is asking me why there's a tear in my eye
Don't let ignorance rule, it's cold and it's cruel, makes me feel like a fool
But there is nothing I can do

Someone show me the way out of this dismay
Someone please hold my hand and make me comprehend
The things I don't understand

Noone is able to do what he likes
Nobody cares if her closest friend dies
Insanity grows like an enormous cancer
Look at the world but you won't find an answer

Don't let ignorance rule
It's so cold and it's cruel
Don't be afraid to make a friend
And help each other understand

Open up both your eyes and then you will realise
That if we stop all these lies we could live in paradise
Open your eyes, open your eyes
Open your eyes, open your eyes
And break the ice

Woke up on a beach today, didn't know how I came there
The sky was blue, cotton clouds high up in the air
My clothes were torn, the whip was gone
I've got no-one but myself now, I'm on my own

Where is the ship on the horizon that is coming to take me home?
I wanna leave this far-away island, I wanna leave it alone
I'm building a fire, I'm lighting it up
Waiting for the boat to come and pick me up

Waves are gently lapping at the soles of my feet
The birds are circling above me, my heart just skips a beat
I'm the second Robin Crusoe, stranded on this land
I'm not the God of earth and heaven, I'm just a simple man
Just a plain and simple man

How did I get here to this place, a million miles from home
I've lost my sense of time and space and I feel so alone

I'm stranded on this land, so beautiful and calm
I'm like a message in a bottle but the bottle's gone

My body tells me what I need, my mind is in a haze,
My thoughts are drifting round and round for endless nights and days

I can see a ship on the horizon, it is coming to take me home!
Finally I'm gonna leave this far-away island, I'm gonna leave it alone
I'm gonna leave it alone
