In the Blink of an Eye

Why should all the wise survive When nothing is what it may seem? Why do all the living die When only the dying remain? Helpless are the broken wishes Dashed upon the window pane So close! But I'm one step ahead My shadow is all you will touch Too late! You waited too long I stole the freedom You needed so much Do you hide away from me? There's nothing here you should ignore Do you close your eyes on me? You've made that mistake once before Helpless are the shattered wishes Dashed upon the window pane So close! But I'm one step ahead My shadow is all you will touch Too late! You waited too long I stole the freedom You needed so much Search far, search wide Lying down is not a matter of pride Look hard, look deep Never try to take this line of retreat Don't let the bastards grind you down So close! But I'm one step ahead My shadow is all you will touch Too late! You waited too long I stole the freedom you needed so much So close! But I'm one step ahead My shadow is all you will touch Too late! You waited too long I stole the freedom I know that you needed so much
