Blind Guardian - Beyond The Realms Of Death lyrics

rate me

[Judas Priest cover]

He had enough

He couldn't take anymore

He'd found a place

In his mind and slammed the door

No matter how they tried

They couldn't understand

They washed and dressed him

Fed him by hand

Yeah! I've left the world behind

I'm safe here in my mind

Free to speak with my own kind

This is my life, this is my life

I'll decide not you

Withdrawn he'd sit there

Stare blank into space

No sign of life

Would flicker on his face

Until one day he smiled

It seemed as though with pride

The wind kissed him

Goodbye - and then he died

Yeah! I've left the world behind

I'm safe here in my mind

Free to speak with my own kind

This is my life, this is my life

I'll decide not you

Keep the world with all its sin

It's not fit for livin' in

Yeah! I will start again

It can take forever, and ever, and ever

And ever, but I'll still win.

How many like him,

Are there still

But to us, all

Seem to have lost the will

They lie in thousands

Plagued and lost

Is nothing worth this bitter cost

Yeah! I've left the world behind

I'm safe here in my mind

Free to speak with my own kind

This is my life, this is my life

I'll decide not you

Keep the world with all its sin

It's not fit for livin' in

Beoynd the realms of death.
