lyrics

While I wait, beloved sweet child,
for a time to come - a time to face the light
Everything becomes more clear,
where behind a tragic mask is growing fear

While I wait, beloved sweet child,
for a time to come - a time to face the light
Everything becomes more clear,
where behind a tragic mask is growing fear

Once more I search and doubt the barren chance
Undying gets the frail romance when it fails

But there are seven million causes to enjoy a lucky life
Just one is left to urge me and to show me that I’ll die
This state of such a paranoia - hardly to endure -
makes me so hypocritical, there’ll never be no cure

Once I lovely called you »thick«
Nowadays a bitter taste gives me the kick
When you’re close I feel the same
like some years ago - it’s nothing but a shame

We’re playing hide and seek and seek and hide,
but who will keep the larger pride?
Though I’ll die …

But there are seven million causes to enjoy a lucky life
Just one is left to urge me and to show me that I’ll die
This state of such a paranoia - hardly to endure -
makes me so hypocritical, there’ll never be no cure

But there are seven million causes to enjoy a lucky life
Just one is left to urge me and to show me that I’ll die
This state of such a paranoia - hardly to endure -
makes me so hypocritical, there’ll never be no cure
