Man‐Erg Songtext

The killer lives inside me: yes, I can feel him move.
Sometimes he′s lightly sleeping
In the quiet of his room,
But then his eyes will rise and stare through mine;
He'll speak my words and slice my mind inside.
Yes the killer lives.
Angels live inside me: I can feel them smile...
Their presence strokes
And soothes the tempest in my mind
And their love can heal the wounds
That I have wrought.
They watch me as I go to fall
- Well, I know I shall be caught,
While the angels live.

How can I be free?
How can I get help?
Am I really me?
Am I someone else?


But stalking in my cloisters hang the acolytes
Of gloom
And Death′s Head throws his cloak into
The corner of my room
And I am doomed...
But laughing in my courtyard play the pranksters
Of my youth
And solemn, waiting Old Man
In the gables of the roof:
He tells me truth...

And I too, live inside me and very often
Don't know who I am:
I know I'm not a hero, but
I hope that I′ll not die.
I′m just a man, and killers, angels,
All are me:
Dictators, saviours, refugees in war and peace
As long as Man lives...

I'm just a man, and killers, angels,
All are me:
Dictators, saviours, refugees...
