Intro. (Acoustic Guitar)
|
I have wasted ten years in a (flind **) blind-fold
|
Ten-fold more than I've invested now in sight
|
I have traveled beveled mirrors in a fly crawl
|
Losing the reflection of a fight
|
|
But like a compass seeking north
|
There lives in me a still sure spirit part
|
Clouds of doubt are cut asunder
|
By the lightning and the thunder
|
Shining from the compass of my heart
|
|
I have flown the frantic flight of the bat-wing
|
And only known the dark because of that
|
I have seized death's door-handle
|
Like a fish out of the water
|
Waiting, waiting for the mercy of the cat
|
|
But like a compass seeking north
|
There lives in me a still sure spirit part
|
Clouds of doubt are cut asunder
|
By the lightning and the thunder
|
Shining from the compass of my heart
