Into my striding, the shell of a god in the cold

My soul is just hiding, my spirit haunting on to control

Far away from his grave, Seth is free

A#m Fm
Don't you see that it's coming, it's near
G# D#
The wise man screamed in the noble chamber
A#m Fm
Just a parrot in a rich man's cage
G# D#
He's a jester on the count
A#m Fm
The wise man died and the seance went on
G# D#
And the red one reigned in the noble chamber
A#m Fm
In dreams of a masterplan
G# D#
For a billion parrots in a big cage
A#m Fm G# D#
Afraid of the eyes that shine in the darkness
A#m Fm G# D#
You don't realize, afraid in the haze
A#m Fm G# D#
You point at the man that grins in your nightmare
A#m Fm G# D#
And don't realize the mirror you gaze into
F# G#sus4 G#
You don't wanna see the spirits behind sceneries

We have to learn for our future, our fate...
