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
