Help... help... my mind is lying on the ground
I don't know, i just don't know if i'm still alive
I see the sun, the sun is up again, another day of just the same
I'm slowly going mad, emptiness is all i have
I see the sun, the sun is up again, another day of just the same
Help... help... can anybody help me now?
Help... help... my mind is lying on the ground
In the mirrors on the walls, with the crosses standing tall
I see misery take another hold of me
I'm hanging on to a memory... i'm hanging on to myself
The wine is turning sour, i'm longing for my final hour
Never to be free, cursed for eternity
I'm hanging on to a memory... i'm hanging on to me
Be it god or satan, whoever you are
You're hiding in the shadows
You cursed me with the devil's mark
I'm hanging to a memory... i'm hanging on to myself
The wine is turning sour, i'm longing for my final hour
Never to be free, cursed for eternity
I'm hanging on to a memory... i'm hanging on to me
Help... help... i'm slowly going mad
Help... help... emptiness is all i have
I smash the mirrors... the mirrors on the wall
I have to smash them all before they crush my soul
Help... blood... i'm bleeding now, help... i'm bleeding bad
I'm bleeding on the floor
Help... help...
I can't take this anymore
