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
