1951
There’s something cold
Inside of us
There’s something empty
Inside our hearts
The bitter sweet harmony of gentle crimes
Can’t you see? It’s burning
Afraid of being honest, afraid of showing pride
The shade of self-deception, it’s rising
A little black devil wants to be free again
A little black devil yearns for his dignity
Return...
Repent...
Deliver us from evil
Open your heart... open your heart for me
I’m on the verge of thinking but I can hardly tell
What drives us on and on, I’m shaking
A little black devil wants to be free again
A little black devil yearns for his dignity
Return – Open your arms (Open up)
Repent – Await your fallen star (Wait for me)
Remind – Open your heart (Open up wide / And shine on)
Shine bright like the sun
It’s 1951
Shine on... forevermore
Defying what I used to be
Defying my belief
Defying what I sacrificed
Pretending sanity |
