A Silent Thought - Bat Bilger

I'm paralysed - by the touch of your hand I'm paralysed - I am stuck where I stand Before you walk away please show me how to breakout from this jail cell I'm paralysed - stop still when I hear your voice I'm paralysed - I'm free but I have no choice I'm paralysed - close mouthed under hood and cloak I'm paralysed - let me out of this horror show I'm hypnotised - by the look in your eye I'm mesmerised - I wanna lay down and die Before you turn away please show me how to break free from this cruel spell Like a Phoenix rising through the smoke I am turned to stone An eagle soaring high above And I am down below

Alone, gazing out into space Once full of wonder I feel its vastness More than ever before A cold emptiness fills the walls Of this place I thought I knew The absence of your soul has thrown My heart into despair What happened to this place I knew I feel my heart has torn in two What is this place I thought I knew A faded distant memory The air is heavy, the living silent In memory of eyes that never cry That never lie, assure that All will be alright And though the needs of the many Outweigh the needs of the few The heart of one is breaking Just thinking of you What happened to this place I knew I feel my heart has torn in two What is this place I thought I knew A faded distant memory And here I remain Still crying out his name I stand alone At the dawn of a new horizon Boldly daring to go Where none have gone before Your sacrifice Inspires the will to carry on What happened to this place I knew I feel my heart has torn in two What is this place I thought I knew A faded distant memory And here I remain Still crying out his name I stand alone At the dawn of a new horizon Boldly daring to go Where none have gone before Your sacrifice Inspires the will to carry on

It's such a clever innocence with which you do your sorcery As if somehow the years just bow and let that young girl go free I thought I was a child, until you turned and smiled I thought I knew where I was going, until I heard your laughter flowing And came upon the wisdom in your eyes Surprise I've spent my whole life running around Chasing songs from town to town Thinking I'd be free so long as I never let love slow me down So lonely and so wild, until you turned and smiled By now I should have long been gone, but here I am still looking on As if I didn't know which way to run It's such a clever innocence with which you show myself to me As if you know how it feels to never be who you wanted to be I thought I was a child, until you turned and smiled I thought that I was free, but I'm just one more prisoner of time Alone within the boundaries of my mind I thought I was a child
