What Is Life? Lyrics

Album: Doomsday

No one to break the distance

this power in my head!

Nothing disturbs the silence

saves me from another death.

Life – it ain’t what I’ve thought

- the thing I’ve always been told.

But I feel the other way means

to get bold!

So why d’ya talk to me

a shot right in the face.

Your communication

is just your way to get outta the mace.

But I wanna sit in silence

neither see nor hear –

suck the blood right outta my veins

- the real me, my dear!

I do not… eat children!

I don’t know why nobody

can’t stand this life alone…

always searching for a partner,

a family and a home.

I surely also got

this natural instinct

this reason for a suffertime

for millions…

I can’t find… my beauty queen!

What is life if there is no one

to pick the flowers in your head?

What is life if you close your eyes

not to sleep but to forget?

What is life?

The state you reach though despair

is a smooth and silent thing.

But there’s one thing you must remember –

the others may think that you’re suffering.

So just wait till you get old and outta sight

for the age is the only excuse

for not acting right!

So if you now may think

that I am outta my mind

try to believe and look in your soul

and maybe you will find

your personal reason for this song to sing

and you will understand

life means to get in the ring!

I don’t wanna die!

What is life if you do everything

but all these things they taste the same.

What is life if the tears flow

and you feel and fear the shame?

I can’t say why I am singing

but I think it is my way

to survive this party

and reach for a better day!

Take, take, take, take…

take me away

another place… another day!

What is life if you wake up

and all you wanna do is to fall asleep again?

What is life if you break down

because of something you can’t get?

Tell me do you know the hunger

to kill another soul for love?

Life is so hard to stand

when you even can’t rely upon yourself!

What is life?

Take, take, take, take…

take me away

another place… another day!
