They never knew how it was like
They couldn't read my mind
Sure I can hide what is inside
The invincible mind erases defeat
Lost like fire on its way to sleep
Steel bends under its command
Shielding lust for every man
The words it bears love to sing
Now and then they hear the cling

Weird, they call me
Although I am insane
Sometimes it's what keeps me tame
Behind the wall
Is fought a war
It goes like thunder
I can' t stand it anymore

They hear me screaming from inside
They can't be both deaf and blind.
Only my words will survive
If darkness' wounds would take me out
Somebody surely heard me shout
Reaching out they'd call my name
I would never feel the wounds again
Through fire and rain, and oceans deep
This curse cannot find defeat

Weird, they call me
Although I am insane
Sometimes it's what keeps me tame
Behind the wall
Is fought a war
It goes like thunder
I can' t stand it anymore

The sickness once took a slave
What's left is the nothing it gave
Empty room with a golden chest
Tempting the mind its best
See what it has become
The tear that falls so slowly down
Friend or foe
What's the difference in a lonely world
Disaster likes the taste
You'll find me, alone in my cage

Weird, they call me
Although I am insane
Sometimes it's what keeps me tame
Behind the wall
Is fought a war
It goes like thunder
I can' t stand it anymore

Sickness, burn my name
Haunt my life, taste the flame
Sickness, play your game
