Tekst piosenki

Where is the center, in the beating of the heart?

In the point of balance, the point of no returning?

In the soul's releasing in strips of silence

Slowly torn apart


Last night I dreamed of wealth and fame

I dreamt so hard I felt the pain

Slowly running from my eyes

Onto a page I'd filled with sighs

And songs designed to make it pay

For how I came to be this way


Oh, the hunger in the search for power

Love is torture in the search for power

Lily, are you near me

Lily, can you hear me

In my dream?


I smoke too much

When I want to touch you

I light a cigarette instead


Poisoning myself

In an existential game

I call American Roulette


A soldier to the wind

I'm answering your call

With yet another song


When, like the flag

You would raise your skirt

Mocking my salute


Sometimes I cannot come

Because I cannot leave

The fortress of the heart


I smoke too much

Knowing it's not death

But life I fear we fear


Why do we assume

The beginning always is

More sacred than the end?


I smoke too much

Knowing I can't reach you

I light another cigarettev

So we stumble on upon a path of darkness

Constantly in motion, constantly in waiting

Anticipating, misunderstanding

Both light and darkness


Oh the hunger in the search for power

Love is torture in the search for power

Lily, are you near me

Lily, can you hear me in my dream?
