Every day I am facing a new way of chasing

The dreams I am losing in constant defense

The world keeps on turning, the beds are still burning

In foolish unconsciousness and self pretense

Take it away, take it away, free me

Take it from me, take it from me now!

Falling astray, falling astray faster

Only to see how...

Deep in the shadows it's hiding for me

Down there the demon is rising

Coming to carry my soul down with him

Down into the temple of hate

All the ways that are leading into hell's open ceiling

Are carrying names so familiar to me

It's so hard to stay who I am when your knifes

Rip my heart out and hit me again and again

Oh, please help me - Oh, let me be

Take it away, take it away, free me

Take it from me, take it from me now!

Falling astray, falling astray faster

But I will keep it under surface of my smiling face

No one can see what's behind this mask for the world

I am wearing all time so I can survive

Because...

Deep in the shadows it's hiding for me

Down there the demon is rising

Coming to carry my soul down with him

Down into the blackness of the temple of hate
