A Stranger in This Century Songtext
von Blacklist

I never thought
Never thought to try
To speak out loud
I was not
Not of the world
Above

I
Must have lived for years
In this place
I could not measure the time
In the castle
The colored pictures of those living beings
Through endless twilights
I waited and I dreamed though I didn′t know what I waited for
My longing for light grew so frantic
I could rest no more


I could rest no more
I tested the barrier
Light is not for me except the ecstatic moon
That illuminates the ruined spires
There is consolation as well as bitterness in the cosmos

After an infinity
Of sightless
Sightless crawling up
That desperate precipice
One black ruined tower
Into the unknown
Reached into the unknown

Dragged open inward
That I might look for the first time
Look upon the outer sky
In a second crashed down
An avalanche of memory
Of all that had been
