The road behind is crumbling

Time is paved by agony

So many signs before me

The way ahead I cannot see

So many things that I long for

The way ahead it ceased to be



Tears of strive are falling

A reasons shine arises

Obsessive thoughts are calling

Ideas just strange devices (x2)



Temptation all around me

Shall I resist Shall I give in

Might it is the answer

Tell me the question to begin

Buried in time and history

Not to strive is a sin



Tears of strive are falling

A reasons shine arises

Obsessive thoughts are calling

Ideas just strange devices (x2)



Desire it defeats me

Distorted pictures of my life

An uncertain liquid

The pool in which I have to dive

Drowned by insane imaginations

All what's left I have to strive



Tears of strive are falling

A reasons shine arises

Obsessive thoughts are calling

Ideas just strange devices (x2
