why i take refuge here

my father was outlawed from the old land in east

a story of bloodshed and i too was outlawed

now i take refuge here

what brings you here my friend

what brings you north to where hell is of ice

south from the sand dunes where hell is of fire

why have you come so far

anywhere

you don't care where you go

as long as there are faithless

you can make believe need help

and that you have the cure of your intentions

i'm sure

i can't bring it all to reason

you've convinced these people

that all their ancestors were wrong

disoriented

they do not know where they belong

like a virus you'll go on

and when i'm dead and gone

both sides waging war will be for one true divinity

like a virus you'll go on

and when i'm dead and gone

both sides waging war will be raging

in the name of one true divinity

this i don't understand

why this perverted superhuman ideal

so we are born to nothing

but torture and torment

that

i don't understand

clearly i see the end

i pray that the embers

will persist from my faith

clearly i'm outnumbered

allegedly outdated

since your arrival here

anywhere

you don't care where you go

as long as there are faithless

you can make believe need help

and that you have the cure

of your intentions

i'm sure

i can't bring it all to reason

you've convinced these people that all

their ancestors were wrong

disoriented

they do not know where they belong

like a virus you'll go on

and when i'm dead and gone

both sides waging war will be for one true divinity

just convert the whole wide world

into the abyss we are hurled

sentenced

come end of the world

spare me your self-righteous word
