The Second Hand Songtext
von Anubis

It ends this way
All alone again
Vacant yet alive, departed, trapped inside

Left estranged
Turned to stone, disengaged
The memories I retain
Numb but still in pain

The light burns my eyes
The hum intensifies
This life of cold twisted pride
Left me betrayed, trapped deep inside
These machines that force me to breathe
Dragging this on until I can leave


The smell of the pale bleached floor
A clock ticks above my door
Footsteps recede down the hall
As I′m left retracing my world's downfall
To feel the rain on skylight above
I′d give all I had, I'd give it all up

But time ticks away
These memories, the darkest dreams are all I see
As time ticks away
My legacy of constant greed won't set me free
As time ticks away
The agony is no-one sees what′s left of me
Time wastes away

I search for the reason, the emptiness in my soul
Every hollow prize is there upon the wall
All I′ve ever strived for meant nothing at all
But time ticks away
These memories, the darkest dreams are all I see

As time ticks away
My legacy of constant greed won't set me free
As time ticks away
The agony is no-one sees what′s left of me
Time wastes away
