Time will remain the mechanical God Push forward never looking back to see behind For it cannot change this empty life Here within these halls we can atone but I prefer to be alone With the ghost of asylum Open these gates of conscience though we cannot see outside A fear will suppress but we are alive Though we have virtues of a different kind. I hide A shadow waits within this fortress of insane Taunting me, it feeds the doubt I might not make it out Time will remain the mechanical God Push forward never looking back to see behind For it cannot change this empty life Here within these halls we can atone but I prefer to be alone With the ghost of asylum We won't become a slave to a faceless master We don't want the questions, we want the answer Never giving in, never caving in, we won't die But are we getting out alive? I will not fail or be drowned by your betrayal I will escape from the chains of repression I will not take a life of anger and suppression I break out of the cage that You've built around my soul Intent to stay alone I Conquer the fear that I'm sold We are longing To find the day Through the darkness we can Find our way Shelter me Find this lifeline stretched beyond the dark I give myself to feel alive We are beyond salvation now. Take my life We've splintered far beyond repair We lost all hope to return to a life that gave us mercy Time will remain the mechanical God Push forward never looking back to see behind For it cannot change this empty life Here within these halls we can atone but I prefer to be alone With the ghost of asylum
