LYRICS: 
***************************************************************** 
 
In a house where noone ever sleeps, 
Lays a man who sees more with his eyes 
Picturing the past before him, 
In a bed, alone, with clothes on 
 
Paying for a service 
He doesn't really need 
 
With his eyes, he sees more love and lust, 
More tears, far too much to handle 
Can't tell a soul, not this time, 
They'd lock him right up 
 
Too much of burning bushes 
Too much for his weak soul 
In his mind, oh so jaded, 
He's gone too far behind 
Of all the visions seen, 
This one makes him scream 
 
He cannot live neither die in this world 
Burning sensation inside, you know how that hurts? 
Making up the crimes of your life 
With scythe as your sword, 
You must fight 'til the end of time 
 
Don't look behind, or you will fall through the time 
 
Only time can make you see behind 
Of the curtain hiding the secret. 
Your time is up when you see the light 
You can live as a noble man but when time, 
you won't be left behind 
 
With the sound of time ringing in his head, 
He leaves the house where noone never sleeps 
Job well done knowing that at least one will be pleased 
 
Hiding is always useless, 
Pictures will fade with time 
Seeking for a winner of the day, 
Prize of life is here 
Of all the visions seen 
This one makes him scream 
 
He cannot live neither die in this world 
Burning sensation inside, you know how that hurts? 
Making up the crimes of your life 
With scythe as your sword, 
You must fight 'til the end of time 
 
He cannot live neither die in this world 
Burning sensation inside, you know how that hurts? 
Making up the crimes of your life 
With scythe as your sword, 
You must fight 'til the end of time
