Born in a Mourning Hall Songtext
von Blind Guardian

In fact, it was close to a real fallout
Everything′s under control
The speaker said with a serious smile, behind his mask, he knew the truth
I'll bring a new age of better ways
The TV preacher said
"Just pay today"
"Pay today"

World′s dressed in black
On Earth's judgment day
And I
I know it can't go on
Forbidden signs increase
I′m sitting still at home
And watching


Born in a mourning hall
Pale clouds feared the unborn child
Then it grew up with growing plants of suicide
Born in a mourning hall
Shadows left the fear inside
That Peter Pan will never reach
The other side
The other side
The other side

It′s frightening
Exciting to sit at home and watch the burning fields get
Hypnotized by the TV snake
Obey and work hard and feel no anger
Just sympathy for the higher class
There's no chance in changing things
′Cause I am

Born in a mourning hall
Silent cries ran out when the cradle breaks
Broken dreams were unheard of the other side
Born in a mourning hall
Shadows left the fear in the newborn child
That Peter Pan will never reach the other side
The other side
The other side

And I'm a part of the machine
A puppet on the strings
A rebel, once now I′m an old man


Oh, I know this can't go on
But the ghost called fear inside
Lames my tongue, my nerves, my mind
Eternal fall down
Someone cut the strings off, I can′t move
To get back courage, I have to face the truth
But not today, goodbye

Born in a mourning hall
Caught inside a web called life
The only way to get out soon is suicide
Born in a mourning hall
Pale souls built a frozen world
Infected brains will never reach the other side
The other side
The other side
