Lyrics & Translation

[English]

How do you read a madman's mind?

Teach me the art of war

For I shall bring more than you bargained for

Give me an ultimatum

That I could not dream of

Spills of a crying nation upon my soul

For I have not a mortal soul

That you already know

Look at my eyes

There's no surprise

Ocean is black, the devil's track

Looking beyond beneath the sea

Eye of the storm is here again

Been there before you were ever born

Beyond the dark, I feel the pain

It's hidden but I can't explain

A cross to bear, a heavy faith

My sorrow whispers time again

I hear you calling my name

Come to claim my life again

Pray for me, I'm almost there

The pain almost too much to bear

I try to find my way back home

To feel the same again

The voice of nothing listened far too long

Little by little eat away

I think I've lost my mind

Too late to change now what I left behind

Hear me, listen my call

I am ready to fall

Lord, hear me now

Let me go

Ocean is black, the devil's track

Looking beyond beneath the sea

Eye of the storm is here again

Been there before you were ever born

Beyond the dark, I feel the pain

It's hidden but I can't explain

A cross to bear, a heavy faith

My sorrow whispers time again
