Beyond the Realms of Death
He'd had enough, he couldn't take anymore
He found a place in his mind, and slammed the door
No matter how they tried, they couldn't understand
They washed and dressed him, fed him by hand
Yeah! I've left the world behind
I am safe there, in my mind
I'm free to speak with my own kind
This is my life, this is my life
I'll decide, not you
Withdrawn, he'd sit there staring into space
No sign of life would flicker on his face
Until one day he smiled, it seemed as though with pride
The wind kissed him goodbye and then he died
Yeah! I've left the world behind
I am safe there, in my mind
Free to speak with my own kind
This is my life, this is my life
I'll decide, not you
Keep the world with all its sin
It's not fit for living in
Yeah! I will start again
It can take forever and ever and ever and ever
But I shall win
How many like him are there still
Who to us all seem to have lost the will?
They lie in thousands, blank and lost
Is knowledge worth this bitter cost?
Yeah! I've left the world behind
I am safe there, in my mind
Free to speak with my own kind
This is my life, this is my life
I'll decide, not you
Keep the world with all its sin
It's not fit for living in
Beyond the realms of death
He found a place in his mind, and slammed the door
No matter how they tried, they couldn't understand
They washed and dressed him, fed him by hand
Yeah! I've left the world behind
I am safe there, in my mind
I'm free to speak with my own kind
This is my life, this is my life
I'll decide, not you
Withdrawn, he'd sit there staring into space
No sign of life would flicker on his face
Until one day he smiled, it seemed as though with pride
The wind kissed him goodbye and then he died
Yeah! I've left the world behind
I am safe there, in my mind
Free to speak with my own kind
This is my life, this is my life
I'll decide, not you
Keep the world with all its sin
It's not fit for living in
Yeah! I will start again
It can take forever and ever and ever and ever
But I shall win
How many like him are there still
Who to us all seem to have lost the will?
They lie in thousands, blank and lost
Is knowledge worth this bitter cost?
Yeah! I've left the world behind
I am safe there, in my mind
Free to speak with my own kind
This is my life, this is my life
I'll decide, not you
Keep the world with all its sin
It's not fit for living in
Beyond the realms of death
