Life Is Short
If there is a purpose
And we have just one way to follow
Take the sheep to the slaughter
Who tells you another way to go
If you could decide on
Who to left dying or living
Take the wolves to the slaughter
Who tells you what's right and what's wrong
You are the only one you know how
You are the only one you know why
To take your head up and get rid of the burdens
Move forward don't look back
Are you the puppet?
Or is it at you to hold the strings
So cut off the wire
Let's take aim and break through the row
If you must to decide on
Between dying or living
Take your life to the shambels
Someone shows another way to go
You are the only one you know how
You are the only one you know why
To take your head up and get rid of the burdens
Move forward don't look back
You are the only one you know how
You are the only one you know why
To take your head up and get rid of the burdens
Move forward don't look back
High
I've never been to the ground like this
And anything else grown bigger than me
All the lies twisted truth like a lead it sinks me down
I've never had any high like this
The bigger the fun the bigger the risk
No more lies, no more pain, no more fear, only life
Low, high
I don't know if the things get better
Low, high
I just know how I feel myself today
Low, high
Let it be an open letter
Low...
I've never been to the ground like this
And anything else grown bigger than me
No more chance, I pant for air, it drags me down into the void
I've never had any high like this
The bigger the fun the bigger the risk
I can replace whole mountainranges with nothing more than a shovel and a brick
Low, high
I don't know if the things get better
Low, high
I just know how I feel myself today
Low, high
Let it be an open letter
Low...
Sometimes I'm weak, it saddens me rude
How life with its cruelty passes me through
I pick oneself up, then I feel high
Can feel how all madness is passing me by

Wake me up
