You promised me eternal life
I gave you all I had to give
My love, my hopes and the seeds of my sick soul
Humanity and self-esteem I lost them all
Don't feel obliged to steer a course
I let my wrecking boat cruise free
A blind lame captain behind the steering wheel
My life's a ghost ship but that's the deal
The danger of a mortal man
Too many assets to ignore
Contagious minds stroll fast all over the place
But harmful thoughts can't win this race
And when you're done - it sure is fun
It starts again - a chain of pain
It is the caterpillar's end
And a butterfly to you
Metamorphosis turns iron into dust
The circle's still unbroken - ashes to dust
