Some kind of curse lies on this place Where she is bound to live her lonely days A hundred years may come and pass Before the roses wither down at last She's waited long, too long to say And never fought the force that makes her stay Some kind of curse lies on this place And to her silent room she says In a world out of time out of space In a prison of thorns and disgrace I will never surrender my mind I will follow the path back to life Cause I'm wide awake Oh so wide awake I will follow the path back to life And I'll survive Into the dark of sprawling plants She rips the vines apart with her bare hands Her fingers bleed, she cannot see She only feels her longing to be free Where is the light, where is the day A million thorns are fighting her to stay Some kind of curse lies on this place And with a trembling voice she says In a world out of time out of space In a prison of thorns and disgrace I will never surrender my mind I will follow the path back to life Cause I'm wide awake Oh so wide awake I will follow the path back to life And I'll survive I'll survive In a world out of time out of space In a prison of thorns and disgrace I will never surrender my mind I will follow the path back to life Cause I'm wide awake Oh so wide awake I will follow the path back to life And I'll survive I'll survive
