I Salute You Christopher (Acoustic)

In losing myself, I find my true self
I am not alone in my feelings
Be brave
Fear is an illusion

(Du bist meine Verbindung in eine andere Welt)
I can see beauty and honesty
The world where black has become the color of triumph
The place where you can be understood as much as you would like to be understood

To recognize freedom is to gain it
It has allowed me to recognize my own freedom
And in the end, this is what each of us is really looking for

He's my cathartic еidolon, my sonic messiah
A beacon of curative powеr to which I'm forever grateful
Facing the end of the world, some turn to God
Others, cocaine and whores, I, to IAMX

After the darkest days of my life
The days of total ignorance and unawareness
You opened the world of happiness and heart seize for me
I'm sending you my love from Moscow

I remember what sorrow and joy are
When I had forgotten what loving life felt like
"Like a dance with an endless lover"
It simply makes me feel cooler

I salute you Christopher
I salute your life
How you played the dice

Your words will live in us
Timelessly insane
Explosive, fresh and wise

Some may just forget
Some may close their eyes
Some may turn the tide

I salute you Christopher
Whiskey raised and downed
You risked and you took the crown

Console yourselves
That a scientific death is better than a fairy tale
Of the eternal life

Control yourselves
'Cause the man in the sky is a tyrant and a lonely psychopath
Dreamed up to steal your minds

The lyrics and music express my deep inner feelings and thoughts
Self-expression and the celebration of individuality
It is a place for likeminded eccentrics to co-exist

A horseman on a trial
A brilliant gentle wreck
With a brutal mouth for press

No submit, no compromise
Saint Christopher of the truth
And a destroyer of smoke screens and threats

They will learn to see in time
They will think before they refuse
The civilisation rules

I salute you Christopher
I declare you as our king
Or queen, depending on your mood

Console yourselves
That a scientific death is better than a fairy tale
Of the eternal life

Control yourselves
'Cause the man in the sky is a tyrant and a lonely psychopath
Dreamed up to steal your minds

It's how I feel
A sense of tribe
It's pushed me out of my comfort zone
In ways I never imagined

A luminous embodiment of exquisite beauty
Empowers the mind
Ignites my spirit with possibilities

Console yourselves
That a scientific death is better than a fairy tale
Of the eternal life

Control yourselves
'Cause the man in the sky is a tyrant and a lonely psychopath
Dreamed up to steal your minds

I remember my biggest fear, my biggest challenge
You gave me my superpower and now I feel beautiful

It's helped me claw my way out of a four year depression
Without which I think I would have felt quite lost

It is my escape
It's what grounds me
It's my tribe
And it's my lifeline
(My lifeline, my lifeline, my lifeline)
