The road behind is crumbling Time is paved by agony So many signs before me The way ahead I cannot see So many things that I long for The way ahead it ceased to be Tears of strive are falling A reasons shine arises Obsessive thoughts are calling Ideas just strange devices (x2) Temptation all around me Shall I resist Shall I give in Might it is the answer Tell me the question to begin Buried in time and history Not to strive is a sin Tears of strive are falling A reasons shine arises Obsessive thoughts are calling Ideas just strange devices (x2) Desire it defeats me Distorted pictures of my life An uncertain liquid The pool in which I have to dive Drowned by insane imaginations All what's left I have to strive Tears of strive are falling A reasons shine arises Obsessive thoughts are calling Ideas just strange devices (x2)
