Translation
Bilingual
The killer lives inside me
ย
Yes, I can feel him move
Sometimes he's lightly sleeping
In the quiet of his room
But then his eyes
Will rise and stare through mine
He'll speak my words
And slice my mind inside
Yes, the killer lives
ย
The angels live inside me
ย
Yes, I can feel them smile
Their presence strokes and soothes
The tempest in my mind
And their love
Can heal the wound I have wrought
They watch me as I go before
Well I know I shall be caught
While the angels live
ย
How can I be free? How can I get help?
Am I really me? Am I someone else?
ย
But stalking in my cloisters hang the acolytes of gloom
And Death's head throws his cloak into the corner of my room
And I am doomed
ย
Laughing in my courtyard play the prancers of my youth
And solemn waiting old men in the gables of the roof
They are watching me from the windows of my life
And they know just where I am
And I am doomed
The angels live inside me
ย
I too live inside of me
ย
And very often don't know who I am
I know I'm not a hero
Well, I hope that I'm not damned
I'm just a man
Man, killer, angel, all are these
Dictators, saviours, refugees
That want peace for as long as man lives
ย
I'm just a man
Man, killer, angel, all are these
ย
Dictators, saviours, refugees
