Ein Glas Helles

Testo:

© Beardcules


Caught​ ​in​ ​a​ ​prison​ ​that​ ​no​ ​one​ ​else​ ​can​ ​see
Despairing​ ​gradually,​ ​my​ ​mind​ ​obliterated
A​ ​futile​ ​fight​ ​against​ ​these​ ​walls​ ​of​ ​crystalline
These​ ​chains​ ​that​ ​bound​ ​me​ ​down​ ​remain​ ​unseen

Slave​ ​of​ ​machinery​ ​that​ ​binds​ ​me​ ​to​ ​my​ ​fate
Remaining​ ​prisoner​ ​in​ ​this​ ​ethereal​ ​shell
I​ ​can’t​ ​escape​ ​from​ ​this​ ​degrading​ ​state
Caught​ ​between​ ​worlds,​ ​this​ ​is​ ​my​ ​personal​ ​hell

How​ ​did​ ​this​ ​come​ ​to​ ​be?​ ​I​ ​did​ ​not​ ​want​ ​this.
Where​ ​did​ ​the​ ​chain​ ​of​ ​choices​ ​start​ ​that​ ​led​ ​me​ ​to​ ​this​ ​place?

Imprisoned​ ​by​ ​the​ ​things​ ​that​ ​I​ ​once​ ​held​ ​so​ ​dear
I​ ​once​ ​could​ ​lift​ ​a​ ​finger​ ​to​ ​make​ ​them​ ​disappear
A​ ​slave​ ​of​ ​the​ ​machinery​ ​that​ ​I​ ​once​ ​so​ ​adored
I​ ​gradually​ ​became​ ​a​ ​thing​ ​that​ ​I​ ​once​ ​scorned

Slave​ ​of​ ​machinery​ ​that​ ​binds​ ​me​ ​to​ ​my​ ​fate
Remaining​ ​prisoner​ ​in​ ​this​ ​ethereal​ ​shell
I​ ​can’t​ ​escape​ ​from​ ​this​ ​degrading​ ​state
Caught​ ​between​ ​worlds,​ ​this​ ​is​ ​my​ ​personal​ ​hell

Hell!

Hell​ ​is​ ​not​ ​what​ ​I​ ​figured​ ​it​ ​to​ ​be
The​ ​truth​ ​is​ ​so​ ​elusive,​ ​even​ ​when​ ​there​ ​to​ ​see
One​ ​bad​ ​decision,​ ​one​ ​mistake​ ​can​ ​can​ ​lead​ ​you​ ​to​ ​this​ ​mess
My​ ​own​ ​behavior​ ​that​ ​caused​ ​all​ ​this​ ​distress

Slave​ ​of​ ​machinery​ ​that​ ​binds​ ​me​ ​to​ ​my​ ​fate
Remaining​ ​prisoner​ ​in​ ​this​ ​ethereal​ ​shell
I​ ​can’t​ ​escape​ ​from​ ​this​ ​degrading​ ​state
Caught​ ​between​ ​worlds,​ ​this​ ​is​ ​my​ ​personal​ ​hell
