Lyric

My hand shakes… I open the window…

The city sleeps… and I am alone…

The night jelly… flows in the silence…

Full of malice… no soul in sight…

And the ghost bus… has gone mad…

Looking for someone… but the darkness itself…

Night and fog… no soul around…

My home is a prison… my worst friend…

SHADOWS IN THE CITY OF SLEEP!

(Shadows!)

They walk in circles, but the guilt is not theirs…

(Not theirs!)

THE GUILT IS NOT THEIRS!

For the spring will never come here…

Or for the fact that living without guilt is impossible…

Who drove them into this circle?

Who made them shadows, who took them by surprise?

They look for a friend… but don’t know who the friend is…

They wait for help… but they don’t have time…

Their desires are simple… like a blank sheet…

In their heads, NOTHING! Their souls don’t burn…

No one knows… who you are or who they are…

An empty heart… that’s all the law!

SHADOWS IN THE CITY OF SLEEP!

(Shadows!)

NO ONE KNOWS WHO YOU ARE AND WHO THEY ARE!

(Who they are!)

THE GUILT IS NOT THEIRS!

Neither work nor response will pull them in…

They hate the living… but they’re not villains…

I stand by the window… through the night fog…

I realize – I won’t sleep again…

I WANT TO UNDERSTAND WHAT MY ESSENCE IS?!

AM I A HUMAN OR A SHADOW?!

GRIPPING… FEAR…

Cold sweat… darkness in my eyes…

The mirror will show… emptiness in their hearts…

I know – I will see… NO ONE!

EMPTYNESS! DARKNESS! LONELINESS!

And the star will burn out…

The shadow will vanish without a trace…

It’s of no use…

Let there be no harm…

The shadows leave in the morning…

Forever…
