Am I coming back to life or finally dying?
Strange lights press upon my nerves
Then darkness comes over me
Am I newly born, freshly dead or hallucinating?
Is this reality so confused and indistinct?
Chaotic scenes just before my eyes
The Gates of heaven and hell broken down
Upside-down beds
Dead-studded halls
Is this world in my visual field the one I really belong?
By degrees as I crawl on the ground
I rouse from a dormant state
I pace up and down
Total immersion through lights
I take a look out there, outside...
Lights of night suffocate me
Unreal city's attracting me
I can't tear my mind away from her and turn my back on her
Benighted I'm out of my depths
Waves of silence chill my blood and drag me in the waste land
Unreal city
I drop on my knees on a carpet of dust
I raise my face to the pale ashen empty sky
Why am I asking myself if there's someone
Or something elsewhere?
What is that bitter taste in my f****** mouth?
Chaotic skin just before my eyes
Am I this man I don't even recognize
Deadly pale face
Cold flesh and bones
Is this body in my visual field the one I really belong?
By degrees I rediscover myself
As I'm staring at this ravaged landscape
Disorting mirrors and fragnmented windows
Reflect the same degeneration
Lights of night suffocate me
Unreal city's attracting me
I can't tear my mind away from her and turn my back on her
Benighted I'm out of my depths
Waves of silence chill my blood and drag me in the waste land
Unreal city
Silent City's calling me
I can hear his voices
The Silent City's calling me
I can hear his voices
I'm coming...
Strange lights press upon my nerves
Then darkness comes over me
Am I newly born, freshly dead or hallucinating?
Is this reality so confused and indistinct?
