lyrics

There's no reason to remain here
There is nothing left to wonder
But the cage has only one exit
To the sweet home six feet under

If there's no more world outside and
Your perception is deceiving
The only way to spend your time is
Ah! Immersion in a dreaming

And when we fall asleep
Our personal demons leave us for a while
There's no more narrow cage
There's no more impotent rage
And we can afford a luxury of ingenuous smile

Is your remembrance real
Or it's just a slice of dream?
Wild riding through the plains
Within a frenzied stream
But since your cage is locked
You can not run away
So never awaken!

When you wake up dull your senses
Your life belongs to someone else
Who plays with you like with a puppet
And your role is less than nothing

Hide away your tears and anguish
Hide away your righteous anger
Pray that nobody gets to know
You still can represent a danger

So guess what's wrong with you
How did you trap yourself?
Did you agree to live
Inside this silent hell
But since your cage is locked
You can not run away
So never awaken!

And when we fall asleep
Our personal demons leave us for a while
There's no more narrow cage
There's no more impotent rage
And we can afford a luxury of ingenuous smile

Is your remembrance real
Or it's just a slice of dream?
Wild riding through the plains
Within a frenzied stream
This sleep will waste your life
Must be another way
Oh, so can you wake up?

Now crush the hated doors
If you are still untamed
Do take the life that's yours
And live it 'till the end
And even if you fail
It would be worthy try
So wake up for the last time.
