Once I understood what is life
sometimes it hurts me like a knife
I dug into the past
saw the things
had got to change
looked ahead
life is very strange
can't be dead
thoughs a-new
were coming to my head
Start to turn in on myself
looped through in my own flesh
Turned to keep
from screaming
at the glory and the terror
in what I saw
Ice that formed around me
had to thaw
at the glory and the terror
in what I saw
sometimes it hurts me like a knife
I dug into the past
saw the things
had got to change
looked ahead
life is very strange
can't be dead
thoughs a-new
were coming to my head
Start to turn in on myself
looped through in my own flesh
Turned to keep
from screaming
at the glory and the terror
in what I saw
Ice that formed around me
had to thaw
at the glory and the terror
in what I saw
