In The Blink Of An Eye

Why should all the wise survive
When nothing is what it may seem?
Why do all the living die
When only the dying remain?
Helpless are the broken wishes
Dashed upon the window pane
So close! But I'm one step ahead
My shadow is all you will touch
Too late! You waited too long
I stole the freedom
You needed so much

Do you hide away from me?
There's nothing here you should ignore
Do you close your eyes on me?
You've made that mistake once before
Helpless are the shattered wishes
Dashed upon the window pane

So close! But I'm one step ahead
My shadow is all you will touch
Too late! You waited too long
I stole the freedom
You needed so much

Search far, search wide
Lying down is not a matter of pride
Look hard, look deep
Never try to take this line of retreat
Don't let the bastards grind you down

So close! But I'm one step ahead
My shadow is all you will touch
Too late! You waited too long
I stole the freedom you needed so much
So close! But I'm one step ahead
My shadow is all you will touch
Too late! You waited too long
I stole the freedom
I know that you needed so much
