Treated like a clock-work-toy without a soul Or a spark of the right to exist Cherished like the sunrise Punished like a hound dog You don't have to play innocent All of your kind took my peace from me And let me drown in my morass of hate But it is not my fault, that I answer in anger When you say there is no choice Spare me from your truth And shield me from the way of the world Oh, it seems, I deserve this fate If life is all about the path that you forced me to go I will bear all burdens of my choice Born into this world and convicted from the start, For ill deeds, that I've never done Tossed into the clockwork, Torn up by the gear-wheels You forgot to leave a way out I've never intended to treat you as cruelly As you try to chain me this way What is it, I have done, that the world ejected me? Revenge for an asserted sin? Spare me from your truth And shield me from the way of the world Oh, it seems, I deserve this fate If life is all about the path that you forced me to go I will bear all burdens of my choice Ungrateful and insolent Spit on me, as long as you can Glances terrify my mind, Drag me to the edge of dispair Spare me from your truth And shield me from the way of the world Oh, it seems, I deserve this fate If life is all about the path that you forced me to go I will bear all burdens of my choice
