The lay of the last minute of pain

you know the man inside too well
you know it, you know it so well
and you can't deny it to me
you know this man, he's been on hell
you know me, you know me so well

in here, crushed like suffer tales
I cross the skies on red wings
far from the cities of desire
far away from the night of the one million faces
and only now, I have the freedom
to stand on my own
to be the ghost I pretend to be

you know the man inside too well
you know it, you know it like a bad spell
and you can't deny it to me
you know this man, he's been on hell
you know me, you know me so well

and though my heart can't see
still I try to find a way thru us all
a way to achieve myself, a way of your desires

but I'm still here waiting
I'm a waiter at your command and by your needs
born out of love and out of time
I've the stranglehold of the beauty in your eyes
with oak benches and forbidden dreams
but get off of me, off with me, off with your head
and we'll grow just like the children of the dead
torn inside, worn as tears and forgotten as love

and you know the man inside too well
you know it, you know it so well, as you might tell
and you can't deny it to me
you know this man, he's been on hell
you know me, you know me so well

and though my heart is barren and cold
still I think there is a way thru us all
a way around myself, a way into your desires
out of sight, out of everything that blinds
just to know that I have the freedom to be

and you know me, you know me too well.....
....and in limbo, we watch the fight of our times
the galore of reasons hide the skies of disgrace
the soldiers stand against the doors of destiny
but patiently we weight down the clouds with rain
cause after all this incalculable pure lunacy
you are the only one that still I know

and though my heart is dead as I am
still there is a way out thru us all
a way to defeat myself, a way for your desires
thoughtless as the pride of believers
impossible in the fickleness of fascination of love

and you know the man inside too well
you know it, you know it so well,
and you can't deny it to me
you know this man, he's been on hell
you know me, you know me too well
you know me like a bad spell, as you tell
and you know me, you know me so well
