Every day I am facing a new way of chasing
The dreams I am losing in constant defence
The world keeps on turning, the beds are still burning
In foolish unconsciousness and self pretence

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

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
No-one can see what I believe

Take it away, take it away
Take it from me, take it from me
Falling astray, falling astray
My life will be in..

....... I might finally say
No-one can see what's behind this
Mask I am wearing with you all the time
So I can survive

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
