lyrics

The screams I've heard, an echo of pain - I can not defend it
I can't resist, so shut up - return - I don't care who sent it

If I wake up from this misery, I will never go back
I will give in if that's what it takes - to feel free again

No doubt, I will get out here alive and I will be aware
I know it is illusion - in fact a returning nightmare

Unreal, fiction - I can not believe in the things that I saw
How can I wake up and feel free again...

So I decide to leave that place
Hope is the last to go
All that I embrace
 
Do I really dream at all
Can't remember when/how I fell asleep
(I face demons) ever calling me to sleep
And I decide which visions are dead and those I keep 
 
If this is not like present or real, how do I get control?
Can I somehow live in a dream, to climb out of this hole

I tried running, legs heavy as lead, not a thing I could do
I tried screaming, not able to call, no way to break through
 
So I try to stay passive and calm, but my actions still fail
Maybe if I stop, sit quietly, there's a chance I'll prevail 

I cry craven, I give up and say - no steps left I can take
I accept there is nothing I can do to escape 

Though I can never leave this place
Still hope is the last to know
All that I embrace
 
A dream can't drive me insane
And I know the moment I awake again
I will face dark nights and falling as I sleep
And I decide which visions are dead and those I keep 

All of a sudden, quite unexpectedly
I can smell the fresh linen that's wrapped around me
Safely protected I'm lying in my bed
It's hard to believe, but these voices in my head are dead

I observe the room - my eyes wander and roam
I realize I am definitely at home !

(Voice Of Fear):
Hahaha... Do you really think that
I am really gone now
 
Just because you opened up your eyes 
I'm not ever gone - are you surprised?
 
I'm the fear within you, I will never disappear 
I am a basic emotion
I will ambush you, lead you down the garden path

I'll come over you
Even If you not expect me to... 
Like a wave I will flood your mind
I will wash away your pride/self-esteem/dignity
Believe me : I'll be back!

What I have learned now from my different nightmares
Wherever there's a shadow there must be a light as well
Some decisions that we make
They can be like long mistakes  
And they lead to consequences we must take

Is it right , is it wrong ?
Am I weak, am I strong ?
I can't divine
But I give you a lore to take along:

Don't throw away that life you've been given
There is a greater thruth inside
Even if your dream has died
 
And if a cruel twist of fate
has tipped your steady state         
a closed door is also an open gate

Instead of waking to a dying dream
I'll face each challenge and learn from all that I've seen
And in moments when I fail
My soul is not for sale
I know: “For narrow is the door and hard the road to life”

Is it right , is it wrong ? 
Am I weak, am I strong ?
I’ll never know
But I can tell you the road I’ll travel on

Don't throw away that life you've been given
There is a greater truth inside
Even if my dream has died
 
And if a cruel twist of fate
has tipped my steady state         
a closed door is also my open gate
