Lyrics
( hammill )
The killer lives inside me: yes, I can feel him move Sometimes he's lightly sleeping in the quiet of his room But then his eyes Will rise and stare through mine; He'll speak my words and slice my mind inside.. Yes the killer lives
The angels live inside me: I can feel them smile Their presence strokes and soothes the tempest in my mind; And their love Can heal the wounds that I have wrought They watch me as I go to fall - well, I know I shall be caught While the angels live
How can I be free? How can I get help? Am I really me? Am I someone else?
But stalking in my cloisters hang the acolytes of gloom And death's head throws his cloak into the corner of my room And I am doomed But laughing in my courtyard play the pranksters of my youth And solemn, waiting old man in the gables of the roof - He tells me truth..
I, too, live inside me and very often don't know who I am; I know I'm not a hero - well, I hope that I'm not damned I'm just a man And killers, angels, all are these: Dictators, saviours, refugees in war and peace As long as man lives..
I'm just a man And killers, angels, all are these: Dictators Saviours Refugees
