Carrier of the Scars of Life

Take me away 
 Into illusion 
 Take me away 
 From the rain 

 Wounded but not yet fallen 
 Still caving in 
 The marks from the dance with the devil 
 Still healing 

 Shallow but not yet empty 
 Cries left alone 
 The marks from a life lived in vain 
 Still sore 

 Take me away 
 Take me to places where hope is not 
 merely an illusion 
 Take me to levels where strength rises high 
 Take me to levels where there are no lies 
 Take me to places where life is for real 
 Where destiny's challenge has yet to be sealed 
 Still I awake to the sound of damnation 
 Torn from my sleep as it calls out my name 

 Take me away 
 Into illusion 
 Take me away 
 From the rain 

 I fall! 
 The fact that the curtain of life 
 is ready to fall 

 I drown! 
 The empty white canvas 
 is suddenly painted in red
