Give me back my soul For the last trick in the book After which I’m done I’ll hang it on the hook I don’t want your blood Not even your round tears Just keep away your smiles And beneath hidden their fears There is nothing you have done That you apparently can I sometimes wonder what you are For it’s surely not a man Just give me back my soul For the last trick in the book After which I’m done I’ll hang it on the hook Magic the unseen doorway To the truth behind the lie Your life’s about to crumble And you about to cry Let me put a soft spell Upon your sleeping eyes And preserve all your feelings Before this night dies Just give me back my soul For the last quest in the book After which I’ll be tired And will hang it on the hook What became of you Gulliver? In your scarlet state of mind To satisfy you pleasure The poor torturously must die All your travels have failed you With all the world that you have seen You haven’t changed one bit From the monster you have been Just give me back my soul For the last trick in the book After which I’m done I’ll hang it on the hook The high chaired men are fantasizing Gold studded angels on their chest After all their bullets have pierced All those misguided young ******* The judge with his arrogance Does seem to be unsure He keeps wondering always Is he a man or a ***** Give me back my soul To play the last trick in the book After which I’m done I’ll gladly hang it on the hook I thought we wouldn’t crumble Forever be at peace But man over man does stumble Like shadow over shadow in deep trees The hour of knowledge shall not return Never shall magic sway my heart The promises of forever have burnt Another animal must make man’s start Just give me back my soul For the last trick in the book After which I’m done I’ll hang it on the hook I don’t want your money And I don’t want your change Just give me all your troubles Before you go insane Once stop on your footsteps And look back on the footprints Is that the path you wished for? To misery when it hints Give me back my soul To play the last trick in the book After which I’m done I’ll hang it on the hook I see the wind still blowing In the direction whistling before Our hearts shall never change Or change the tune of the lore Will decisions mark our graves? Or graves decide our fate? Let magic play its tricks And love conquer hate Just give me back my soul once I’ll play the last trick in the book And once that I’m satisfied I’ll never turn and look Reason escapes my senses As reasons cry in blood Must man forever **** man? Or love instead he should? Where is the book of knowledge? Where is the hidden tree? I don’t want all the answers Just want answers to find me So just give me back my soul For its magic plays the trick And once after it has played It shall stand like a stick Wish your palms weren’t slippery Your heart would stick too Though between the sea and devil You’ll take your pick too There is just one life And none shall ever return Here lies all our laughter And after, just silence stern So make all your choices And be sure of what you choose For the misery might just **** you If not your heart left loose Give me back my soul I want it one last time And then you can keep it Until you get tired Nothing has changed since man It’s still the same old joke As boring as it could ever be The first trick in the book No whiskey helps any more No beer can play the trick Nothing can replace the feeling When eyes have changed to bricks I beg you give my soul back And I’ll show you a surprise There is in it nothing Except your hushed round eyes Just give me back my soul once And I’ll kiss you with my tricks And whisper the magic answer Into your swollen lips Just give me back my soul And I’ll teach you the last trick For once I’m gone forever You’ll need it with your stick Just give me back my soul For the last trick in the book And once I’m done with it I’ll surely hang it on the hook.

Last Trick In The Book
Give me back my soul For the last trick in the book After which I’m done I’ll hang it on the hook I don’t want your blood Not even your round tears Just keep away your smiles And beneath hidden their fears There is nothing you have done That you apparently can I sometimes wonder what you are For it’s surely not a man Just give me back my soul For the last trick in the book After which I’m done I’ll hang it on the hook Magic the unseen doorway To the truth behind the lie Your life’s about to crumble And you about to cry Let me put a soft spell Upon your sleeping eyes And preserve all your feelings Before this night dies Just give me back my soul For the last quest in the book After which I’ll be tired And will hang it on the hook What became of you Gulliver? In your scarlet state of mind To satisfy you pleasure The poor torturously must die All your travels have failed you With all the world that you have seen You haven’t changed one bit From the monster you have been Just give me back my soul For the last trick in the book After which I’m done I’ll hang it on the hook The high chaired men are fantasizing Gold studded angels on their chest After all their bullets have pierced All those misguided young ******* The judge with his arrogance Does seem to be unsure He keeps wondering always Is he a man or a ***** Give me back my soul To play the last trick in the book After which I’m done I’ll gladly hang it on the hook I thought we wouldn’t crumble Forever be at peace But man over man does stumble Like shadow over shadow in deep trees The hour of knowledge shall not return Never shall magic sway my heart The promises of forever have burnt Another animal must make man’s start Just give me back my soul For the last trick in the book After which I’m done I’ll hang it on the hook I don’t want your money And I don’t want your change Just give me all your troubles Before you go insane Once stop on your footsteps And look back on the footprints Is that the path you wished for?
