To be the hero of my own story   Forsee the events of my life   You're young not twice but once   If it's not trouble it's strife, it's strife      Bathe me in water vapour   Erase me to ashes with fire    Ground to dust in the dark earth   Oh let me be soluble in air, in air      If I really knew the truth   I'd probably turn back the clock   Better not to know too much too soon   Mankind is always in the dark, in the dark      Bathe me in water vapour   Erase me to ashes with fire    Ground to dust in the dark earth   Oh let me be soluble   Bathe me in water vapour   Erase me to ashes with fire    Ground to dust in the dark earth   Oh let me be soluble in air
