I leave the ashes of my brutal   Past won't fulfill my future life   Deep inside I need to run away from   Lying, hiding, betraying   Crying, denying, pretending   Life goes on straight to the edge   Hopeless wishes wander through the night   I seem to know the reason that really shows   The valley of my shabby soul      Baring the secret everyone's turning away   Life and its meaning have led me astray      I flow with the sands of time   I know that the memories remain   I hold back the beast in me   I know I better had   Keep the secret in me      Lying, hiding, betraying   Crying, denying, pretending   Baring the secret everyone's turning away   Life and its meaning have led me astray      I flow with the sands of time   I know that the memories remain   I hold back the beast in me   I know I better had   Keep the secret in me      I flow with the sands of time   I know that the memories remain   I know I better had   Keep the secret in me
