Disappointing failures – painful mistakes I really tried to stay strong Visions of the future – confident hope All my intentions were wrong Up and down Round and round Hit me to the ground Rise and fall Through it all I remain standing tall Life is only a misery Wake me up – from reality Faith and hope, they have gone astray Wake me up – I can't stand this day ♪ Endless heavy suffering – continuous pain I can no longer pretend No apparent reasons – simply bad fate I really long for the end Day and night Keep the fight It will be alright Tell me how Tell me why I believed this shameless lie Life is only a misery Wake me up – from reality Faith and hope, they have gone astray Wake me up – I can't stand this day ♪ In the deepest dark the shadows cannot rise ♪ The flame of hope glows hidden to the eyes Life is only a misery Wake me up – from reality Faith and hope, they have gone astray Wake me up – I can't stand this day Life is only a misery Wake me up – from reality Faith and hope haven't gone astray Wake me up – on another day
